Tattoos

One gal at the reunion had this awesome tattoo of KISS. Notice that each letter contains the face of one member of the band. Her brother is a tattoo artist - what talent! She had a cool photo on her phone of herself displaying her tattoo while standing with Gene Simmons! Three friends and I dressed as KISS for Halloween a few years ago, and we won first prize. Suddenly I'm wondering if I should get a tattoo...

Reunion

My 20th year reunion was Friday night.  I was pretty nervous - my memory is horrible.  But they published a list of those who were planning to attend, and I took my yearbooks back with me to study, so I felt pretty prepared. Mark went, too, and most of the folks there thought he was the official event photographer. He took photos of EVERYONE! We had a great time, and it was really cool to see these folks again after so long. I was told I still look the same, which either means I'm aging well or I have really bad hair!

Thanksgiving

We haven't been home to RI for Thanksgiving since we've had kids. It's too far and too much traffic. But with my reunion being on the Friday after Thanksgiving, we've had this trip planned for a while. We took the kids out of school Monday and Tuesday and made a whole week out of it. We stayed with Sue and Chris, but Dave and Emily hosted Thanksgiving dinner. We gave Jackson a Fisher-Price Garage for Christmas, but he liked the box it came in just as much. He makes that little "Oh" face all the time!

Happy Birthday, Ella!

It's hard to believe that Ella is one already! Check out the progression from princess to total mess...

Do you think this sign is as funny as I did?

All I Want for Christmas...

...is my two front teeth!

Ella's First Halloween

Mark had the great pleasure of doing a photo shoot with Ella for Halloween. How cute can you get?

UVA vs. Miami

While I was gone, the rest of the family took some friends to the football game.  Unfortunately, UVA lost to Miami.
