Alma got some tattooing pens from Aunt Kate, which have been fun.
We got rid of all of our living room furniture for some spiffy new IKEA pieces. The "free" pile in front of our house somehow yielded $40. The kids got to keep the funds for "their couches" which only seemed fair.
Alma and I attended a birthday party at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. So great to spend the day with my sweetie. The best reaction of the day: All the kids were watching a 3D movie about dinosaurs which began with a vicious killing of a baby dinosaur. Alma and I promptly left the theater and she proclaimed "How can they watch that?!" with such awe (and a bit of disgust) in her friends.
Christmas Day: Alma hard at work at the dinning room table, James napping on the couch, Simon hiding out amidst the trucks
Brian and Bridgette were so wonderfully kind to throw James a birthday party in the middle of Christmas day. Brian got him a HUGE Lightning McQueen balloon, which James adored. Here is Alma and James enjoying a Paw Patrol episode while James holds the string of the balloon.
Joshua made a mountain of Christmas goodies, including his wonderful anise cookies and Zane's famous egg nog cookies.
