Happy Birthday Marc!

Yes, we had a birthday celebration today. How old you ask? Uh, I don't know if I can count that high! The favorite gift, for givers and receiver, was a set of organic chemistry "toys" used to create molecules. Marc and the kids spent the morning creating molecules and learning about science.

12th Birthday!

First, a Tuesday friends party including a trip to the Planetarium. Then, a Sunday family gathering. With Thanksgiving sandwiched in between, it was a week full of parties. It's hard to believe our girls is now a young woman!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
