This and that and a little bit of Christmas......still!


 The Thompsons and us went 80s dancing and it was a blast! It was a Christmas present from them. They organized the whole night. They found a babysitter for us, made dinner reservations and even got us a hotel room! They always do way too much, but I'm not complaining, we had so much fun!!!!
 I have pictures of me in the seventh grade with hair that looks just like this.



 We took a train from the restaurant down to the Crystal Ballroom where all the fun began.


 Well..... the party started here


and here.

I am warning you now, this post is very disorganized, sorry!



 I went in to check on Cosette because she had been down for a couple of hours and this it what I 
found.......


 Apparently this position doesn't seem to bother her?


 Isn't that what there there for? Leg slots, right?

 Oliver was one of the Three Kings at his preschool nativity scene


 Oliver isn't the get up on the stage type I am realizing more, however, he played a majestic king quite convincingly.





Oliver's debut as a wise king!

 As tradition has it in the Macy family, Christmas Eve is dedicated to the Polish lineage that runs strongly on J-P's mother's side. J-P's grandparents are 100% polish. I couldn't think of a better way to spend Christmas Eve than eating Borscht, Perroggi, and Kristticki which is pictured above. J-P takes great pride and wanted to cook everything himself. It was a lovely dinner and it was the Thompson's first Polish Christmas Eve dinner. I know it all sounds strange, and it took me awhile to warm up to these strange dishes, but it was a great feast. Tanya brought her Cornish Game Hens and it was a nice addition to the traditional food. We had so many yummy things to eat.

 Christmas morning! Calvin woke up at 3 am screaming that Santa came! We heard him say,"Santa is real! I love you Santa!"


 The kids got spoiled


 Coco's first baby doll, she was so happy that she.....


 kissed it!


 But after that first kiss, she was undecided for a moment.



 I got her a tu-tu for Christmas, I wish I could wear one and have no-one look twice!:)


Zita gave Cosette this cute dress she picked up in Europe when she was there. She also gave her pink boots that are Ugg style. I love having a girl! It's so fun.

Rowen Cruz


 I never officially announced Rowen's birth on my blog so I am doing it now.
I went to visit the newest member of the Compton family and I am reporting that he is the sweetest thing. He is a very good baby and I never had it that good for my first, but I guess some girls have all the luck:)!


 He hardly cried except for when he had to relieve himself or when he wanted something to eat.


Aunty Athlyn with Rowen



 We had so much fun as sisters! We talked, laughed, watched movies, shopped, ate chocolate and ate chocolate. It fed our sister souls.
