Happy 2009!!


Kavanna is the happiest person I know!
The now 15 year old Ariel (gasp! gulp!) with my parents.  Ariel's friends threw her a surprise party for her birthday.  First they did a scavenger hunt that ended with presents and a card that said they were sorry they couldn't be there for her.  She got home, went into her room... and they all jumped out at her.  It was perfect.  She has such wonderful friends.
Kavanna is not always happy...

But she IS always cute!
Happy 2009 everyone!!  
I'll be back with more photos when I get my new camera.  The old one broke, yikes.

Nina - I have been meaning to pick up the phone for a chat. Let's plan a coffee date with our little ones and see who can stay the longest before someone has a meltdown!

Looks like everything is going great!
