Facebook is nuts....people you never thought you'd see again, and never wanted to see again are begging to be your friend. I was never very popular in high school but one week into this and I have 111 friends! I feel so special. But mainly I am pleased to see people (mostly the guys who relentlessly teased me) still doing the same old thing only they're fatter and older.....sweet justice. Is that mean? Too bad, cuz its true.
It has been fun to see and chat with a lot of old friends though. Especially ones from my childhood...like elementary school. Also since Cannon served in my ward I know a lot of his old mission buddies and it has been fun catching up with them too.
So first things first...Christmas! We had a lovely Christmas. The kids were cute, Santa came and we enjoyed being together.
L got a trike (thank you Craigslist) and E got an IPOD shuffle (thank you 101 E 75th St) When L saw his trike he was very excited but the thrill wore off when he opened his train set from my mom.
I took 3 pictures but she would not look at the camera, she was too preocupied with her new bracelet.
The loot
My kids never have candy...well almost never.I let them indulge their sweet tooth on Christmas
and then when they weren't looking I threw it away. A
Friend asked why "Santa" even brought candy, and I
said it was because "Santa" never listens to me. Here L is
triumphantly holding up his chocolate covered marshmellow
santa....yuck.
Showing off her new slippers
Our time off was really fun and we spent a lot of time out and about. L got a haircut which I'm not happy with...I loved his hippy look. We went to the CMOM, Playgarden, Chuck E Cheese...twice. Oh and we got the chore thing goin...which is AWESOME!!!
The ball pit at Playgarden was a huge hit.
L's new haircut...not such a big hit with me. I wentand got it cut but Can thought the back was too
short and the front too long. So when I was out he
cut L's bangs...sniff sniff. I am now thinking of
buzzing it.
E had her 7th Birthday today...does that make me old?
Birthday celebration at school. She gets so shy when
she is in the spotlight.
she is in the spotlight.
We celebrated today at Mars 2112 in
Times Square. It was fun and the
atmosphere was great, but it was such
a RIP OFF!! But the kids had fun and
that's what matters....right?

L was terrified when the aliens came around.
It wasn't any better when we were right up close.
But E was happy with it all....
and L was happy doing what he loves best......groping mama.
The day ended with a house (apt) full of twelve 6 year olds, one 5 year old, a 4 year old and L. It was nuts but that's why it was only one hour! We love you so much E and are so happy that you are part of our family.
I forgot to add that we successfully killed the class stick bug (ok he was one of many but still we felt bad because really how hard is it to take care of a bug?)

Sounds like you guys had fun! Funny about the stick bug, you really don't want to know our experiences with pets - I could write a book!
That was a huge update. FAcebook is so consuming. I thought I was popular until I realized I have like no friends on facebook. Oh well. I'll still pretend I was popular. :)
My husband and child think I'm a nut job...I was sitting here reading your post the other morning (they were in the room)laughing hysterically and crying too. Sage looked concerned and asked me "What's wrong mama?" Keep up the good work Kass.
Sweet Justice is when those guys who teased you see your pics and how beautiful you are.
