home from texas!

The girls had an absolute blast during our way too quick visit to El Paso this past week. We went up to 'the bear house', which is my Aunt's townhouse in Ruiodso New Mexico and all the cousins came- 10 kids under the age of 10! A house full of instant friends. Best of all we missed the two feet of snow that fell in cherry hill and came home to a plowed driveway.

Happy Hannukah!

here is what Hannukah looks like at my house this year-

super special hockey celebration!

Instead of a birthday party this year, I promised Jena I would take her and her best buddy Jason to a hockey game. When I made this deal I figured we would go to one of the minor league games- the Phila Phantoms. I then found out the phantoms no longer play in Philly and thought I would be stuck paying big bucks to take two 5 year-olds to Phila Flyers game (at 150$ a ticket for the cheap seats!) Well- lucky me- the Phantoms came back to Philly for one game only and we were there. To say Jena was excited would be an understatement. As you can see she was literally on the edge of her seat.
