So we celebrated yet another set of birthdays this past weekend. Katie turned 8 and Vann turned 4. Katie had 4 friends from school spend the night on Friday night and they had fun. I would have thought they would have kept me up all night but at midnight they were all snoozing! Thank goodness. On Saturday night we went to Jana and Dan's(Brian's sister) house to celebrate birthdays because their son, Griffin, also shares a birthday with Vann! Think of all the gifts, it's like Christmas! Vann ended up with some more Power Rangers and Transformers(they are much harder to transform than you would think) and some trucks. Katie got some games, money, a holy water font and her ears pierced. She is such a trooper. Her eyes welled up just a tad with the first click but she was ready to get the next one done right away. We are now getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving and put up Christmas decorations next weekend. Phew! It's like a whirlwind of events lately but it keeps us going!
