Play days!

Play days are hard during the week, so Alex invited her friend, Sydney, over and Ben invited Liam on Friday for Pizza and a movie. The girls were ready for the new Tinker Bell movie - they even dressed for the occasion! Ben and Liam missed the movie, but they worked hard to defeat the Dark Side!

Checkers!!

It is hard to find things for Ben to do when he gets up at 6:00 on Saturday morning. We told him to go play. An hour later when we get up, he is on the kitchen floor, playing checkers against Jack. Poor Jack did not do very well - Ben is just too good! He was so proud of himself for winning!

Bread bowls

Our yummy, and adorable, turtle bread bowls we bought down a tthe pier, filled with mac-n-cheese! JoJo, Nathan, Alex, and Ben loved them!

Happy NEW YEAR!!!

Happy 2010! WOW! It is hard to believe that it is a new year. This was a very fun new years. We had Grandma Shike visiting and the Harp's drove up to celebrate with us. Uncle Tommy and Cousin Adam came over and the neighbors, the Items, stopped by for some fun! Lots of pan banging, horn blowing, party popper fun!

Penguins!!

We love the holidays because we get to make yummy treats with Grandma Shike. This year, I found a recipe to make penguins. They turned out - messier than we had planned, but it was delicious fun!!

Downtown San Francisco with Grandma!!

After our walk we were hungry, so we went to Fisherman's Wharf for lunch! Alex loved her clam chowder in a bread bowl and Ben loved his crab.

GHIRARDELLI

We of course finished our day with a fabulous sundae from Ghirardelli! Delicious!
