One day you just wake up and... your kid is 9. NINE. And he wants laser tag and Minecraft and only you (Mom) when he is sick or has his feelings hurt or needs the AppStore password. Where does the time go??? Tess does the laser maze  Tess and neighbor-buddy Charlotte in their laser vests The third grade crew Looking tough (Clara just posed but she wore the 10lb vest well!)

Merry merry merry merry Christmas!

A few pics from the one day to rule them all... Aww... does it look dark? IT IS. We start Christmas morning at 6am, latest. Clara is *enchanted* with the Ice Castle. Jack and Tess LOOOOOVE the Xbox One. Tess' annual bowl of cherries from Santa. Grandma sent an American Girl! Isabelle (the dancer), no less!! Wow! A woody truck for my Calico Critters! Tuckered out by 10am. Poolside nap. Mommy's new favorite pastime: watching the kids dance to the Xbox dance app.  Hard to imagine how/when this gets old.
