Winter break

One day a bouncing good time at Bounce U as organized by SEPTAR (Shannon). This was followed by lunch at Burger King with Mary Beth and her kids Sarah and Alex. Then we were invited to their house to play and Alex and Alex had a wonderful time together playing computer games. Ki played too, and she put together a Lego project. We all had a lovely time.
Kianna had a play date with her one of her most favorite people, Ryan  Schackel. They played at his house and enjoyed Star Wars light sabers and Lego. 
Alex and I did bday shopping for BG (Beautiful Grandmother-my Mom) and Kiki. BG's birthday is New Years Eve. We went to Kowalsyk's for dinner and took crab and salad to go along with finger appetizers (baby corn dogs, chicken wings etc.) Allison made apricot rolls, homemade lavender colored marshmallows and raspberry Jello. We also brought a cake and all sang Happy Birthday to BG. Bday gifts for BG included a new fleece nightgown, new slippers, a puzzle of San Diego (picked out by Alex) and a new day planner. The Kowalzyk kids came over to play for the afternoon. Lots of art, coloring, playing outside and Wii/playstation. I love these kids.Four-year-old Angela washed my windows and Matthew commented on our new entertainment center, "I don't know how much you paid for that, but it was totally worth it."
