After a long hard workout, it is always important to have a good snack -

 

When having lunch, it is best to keep your hair out of your face -

 

 Keeping clean is very important too -

And when everything else is done, just sit around looking cute -

 

Bonjour mes amis -

Papa got Paige a French beret for Christmas.  She is dead serious with this outfit.  I can only imagine what the teacher thinks -

Happy Birthday to Luke -

Happy Birthday to you.  Happy Birthday to you.  Happy Birthday to Luke.  Happy Birthday to YOU!!

 

We celebrated Luke's 8th with a quiet dinner at home with Mimi.  Still reeling from the aftermath of the onslaught of Christmas presents, Luke wanted one thing - a bean bag chair.  A cheetah one no doubt.

Pats Game -

We got Pats tickets as a family gift for the kids.  We lucked out and had a 50 degree day.  For the end of December that's pretty lucky!  The kids loved their first game even though the game was the last in the regular season, the Pats had already clinched the payoff so it was more like a preseason game.  They pulled Brady in the second half but Paige was still yelling, "Go Tom Brady!!!" which the people around us thought was funny.  Even funnier was Paige yelling in the first half, "I don't even like football."

 

We loaded the kids up with food and they were happy.  Fun family day as Ali stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa.
