Kathy Occhipinto The girls and I went to Barnes and Noble today to meet the author who wrote the latest American Girl book.  The girls were impressed to have a "real" autograph and are quickly reading thru their books.  After, we had to make a trip down to Build A Bear....because they've been by it a million times, but NEVER have had the chance to buy one.  Sporting their own money, they each picked out their animal and went thru the process and...

Kathy Occhipinto The roads are finally clear....Brian dug out the driveway...we headed to the Alvamar Hill to do some sledding!  Someone packed a snowboarding ramp into the snow, which was quite the hit to try and jump.  Everyone (but me) in the family did it on a sled, multiple times....when Brian can't get out of bed in the morning, he'll get no sympathy from me!  We enjoyed an hour of sledding, then went inside to inhale cheeseburgers at the grill then came home.  Cailey and I ran thru the yard with Phoenix, ...

Kathy Occhipinto We celebrated Brennan's 13th birthday on December 20th.  He's proud to proclaim, now that he's 13 he can be LAZY...apparently he's been 13 for a while?!?  Both sets of Grandparent's, Kris and Jessica joined us for pizza, cake and ice cream.  Brennan "serves" Uncle Kris The proud owner of an itouch!

Kathy Occhipinto The girls and I went to Rosie's today to learn how to make Italian cookies.  It was fun to learn about a family tradition, only wish Cailey and I could have stayed longer, but we had to leave due to her basketball game.  Rylie stayed behind and  we caught up with her, Colleen and Marie later who transferred Roo and all the yummy cookies to our car.  What a fun experience!

Kathy Occhipinto Thinking Brennan would be too big for Halloween, he surprised me by wanting to be a Transformer for Halloween!  (Secretly, I think he was looking for his Megan Foxx to join him!!).  Being that they don't make costumes for a small adult, I had to buy the biggest one I could and then cut it apart to sew on to a pair of sweats.  SOOO, I've spent the last 2 days whip stitching these pieces to sweats and may not be able to move my hands tomorrow but he's in costume!

Kathy Occhipinto After waiting for months and a delay of two weeks due to Miley being sick, we FINALLY made it to the Sprint Center last night for the concert.  A new concept they were trying, ticketless concerts, was a MESS.  After waiting to get in the Sprint Center, we had to wait in another mass of lines to get Grammy's card swiped and thru the gate. Regardless of what Ticketmaster and Sprint say, it did NOT work well!  The girls were excited, singing along and taking it all in. Th... (click to read the full text) click to view all blog entries...
