Over the weekend we bought a tree and according to Ian we finally were able to break out the ornaments. I noticed that this year was the first year, we were all putting them on the tree. Ian looked so grown-up placing each ornament with care on the the branches – except for the one he dropped. Thank goodness for super glue, it’s a saver!
The tree still needs some ribbon garland and lots of handmade paper snowflakes and other goodies I have in mind. Here we are after the babes were put to bed. Ahh, relaxing after all that hard work with some of this.
I’m very excited about some of the crafty projects going on right now. I have some projects completed and some more in the works. It’s like Santa’s Workshop around here, whistling and all! I so want to take pictures and post them all over the place, but one must not reveal until the 25th. Oh it’s so hard, I hate keeping secrets.
More pictures that were on my camera that I thought would be of interest to some of you.

When we weren’t hanging out at art museums and playing at the park this week, we enjoyed time together at home.

Every year I stress out about what to do for the birthday celebrations. I love to plan and have people over and do the theme with the decorations and the cake and the games, but I’ve realized that I just can’t do all that and it’s more fun to spend time together than to worry about all that other stuff. We celebrated last night with the birthday boy’s dinner of choice which was soup with bread and butter. Then we enjoyed some fireworks with names like “Mother Nature” and “Waterworks” which all seemed to do the same thing, but we had fun in expectation of what they might be like and just saying the names over and over again with enthusiasm. “Oh boy, here comes Mother Nature, it’s bigger it’s badder it’s MOTHER NATURE.” That’s how it went down. Sparklers, yes those too!
{Five? How did that happen?}
Today, the actual day of Ian’s birth, I took him to The Cummer Museum of Art where he, his brother and his cousins scared all the museum staff by getting way too close to the art. After a few of the galleries we let them run in the gardens, where they were able to paint and then they explored the hands-on children’s area.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN!!!!!!
