Here are some photos from the sleep over part of Vinny's birthday party. We only had 7 girls including Vinny spend the night.
Vinny and A. took the air mattress.
The twins took the lazy boy chairs.
The first one to fall asleep. We had three girls sleeping in the sofa bed.
The second girl asleep.
With all of the seating taken Patrick was stuck on the floor.
That is all for the birthday party.
Here are some more photos from Vinny's birthday party...

On Saturday, December 19th, my beautiful baby girl turned 11 years old.
Here are some photos from the past 11 years...
First day of Kindergarten.
I find it so hard to believe that my baby girl is already 11. Could someone please tell me where the time has gone?
Today is my December Tysabri treatment. I have written my posts for this week already. I hope you all have a great Holiday!
Vinny was quite spoiled by her wonderful friends...
Perfect shirt for a Twilight fan.
Nail polish!
Cute hat and scarf!
My favorite gift!
Reading a funny card.
I took quite a few photos at Vinny's birthday party. I also gave one of her friends my camera to take a few and she took 80! I am not going to bore you with all of the photos. I am going to share quite a few so I am going to split the posts into a few categories. Here we go...
Abigail, Vinny, Anna-Kate and a new friend wait for the party to start.
Getting ready for cupcakes. The kids are wearing coats because they had been outside goofing off.
Yes, those are store bought cupcakes. I just could not find the time to make homemade cupcakes.
Two candles side by side to represent the number 11.
Mitchell has a chin-up bar in his bedroom door. The girls were all attempting to do a few chin-ups.
That is all for today!
Patrick has been taking private voice lessons through Converse College this fall. On Monday, his teacher held a winter recital. Fortunatley, Charlie's sister Christie and her husband Joel were here to join us. Here are a couple of photos from the event and the video of Patrick's performance. The song is in Italian so don't bother trying to figure out what he is singing.
Mitchell, Vinny, Christie, & Joel.
Patrick before the recital started.
Last Friday was China Day at Vinny's school. Remember this post about Egyptian Day? I was not as prepared this time so we had to punt. Here is the beautiful Vinny on China Day...
She wore one of my robes, some dowels in her hair and a little eyeliner. Not bad for the last minute.
Have you ever decided that you wanted to make a change and that change must happen right away? I decided I was in need of a change last week and this is what I did...
Eight inches gone!
This is a before shot...
This was taken on November 21st, 2009.
In case you are wondering, that is my natural curl. Patrick actually asked me if I had it curled. So, why did I decide to do this drastic cut? Well, two reasons; one, I was tired of it and two...
5 years ago I injured this wrist and cut about 10 inches off of my hair. I kept it short really short for the next year since I had a second surgery the following year. Then I slowly grew it back out. Now I have injured the same hand. I have torn a tendon and am trying to avoid surgery. I am wearing this fun brace called a "boxer brace. This is the other side...
It is very uncomfortable! I only have to wear it for a month and if it works great! If it does not, then it is going to have to be repaired.
My sister in law Christy and her husband Joel arrive today for a week long visit! I cannot wait! I hope you are having a great Monday.
Tonight is Vinny's birthday party. She is has invited 14 girls and 2 boys. Yes, I said boys. I am not ready for her to be inviting boys to her party. When Charlie found out she was inviting boys he aged about 20 years. He actually tried to tell her that boys could not come. That did not go over real well since Mitchell had girls at his 11th birthday party. The plan is to eat pizza & cupcakes, play some guitar hero, and just hang out. The girls are sleeping over, the boys are not.
Her actual birthday is December 19th. We always try to have her party a week or so early so we do not have to compete with Christmas parties.I thought I would share a recent photo of me and my little girl...
Our neighbor's son, Levi left on Sunday for the Marine Corps. We had him and his family for dinner last week and of course I took some photos. Here they are...
Levi playing the guitar while Mitchell played the drums.
More music.
Then he shot some pool with the kids.
Vinny, Mitchell, Levi, & Patrick.
Vinny, Mitchell, Ben, Jesse, (Levi's siblings) and his Grandpa.
Please keep Levi in your prayers. He is hoping to get to Afghanistan. We are hoping he does not. Either way, we are proud to call him our friend and are also very thankful for his service to our country.
