So mom is (?) today - and she'll kill me - literally- if I post her age. Suffice it to say she's older than 39 and younger than 80. Now - you do the math if you really want to.
To celebrate we just did the traditional dinner, cake with "mom rocks" written on it...a moose nativity, advent calendars, a little destroying of the play room, an overrun home with grandkids and semi-grandkids (that would be my all my cousin's kids), re-decorating the tree after all the ornaments were taken off by kids, bathrooms destroyed by 2 and 3 year olds locking themselves in, a few tantrums, some make-up hugs, puppy eating people's plants, babies drinking puppy's water...did I miss anything? I think I got pictures of about half of what happened...the rest I'll just have to leave up to your imagination!

Mom with Natalie and Emily - no clue where they are looking...but not at the camera!
Moose Nativity from Grandma who found it in yellowstone.
Braxton searching for the ornaments he most wants to take off the tree!
Life is just terrible when you're 1!!
Ok - if you'll take my picture - I'll be happy!

Yeah...they knew they were in trouble!
Entertaining the masses!
