Glow Stick Party


 My Mom came up with the most ingenious idea for our Christmas Eve Party: Glow sticks.  She ventured into the dollar store, which has an amazing variety, and bought up a whole lot of wands, sticks, necklaces, rings, balls, etc.



 Even the Grandma's got into the fun.




 We turned on the soundtrack to Tron and danced around, which is the best music for any glow-in-the-dark party.



 It was such a huge hit that we threw another glow stick party for New Years.  The second time I went with my Mom to the dollar store, and it was amazing how much product we were able to buy for only $20.




 My Dad took all these photos.  The love of photography runs in the family.


These pictures are a compilation from both parties, each party had a different side of the family in attendance.  Everyone had a blast.  My brothers, sister-in-law, and I have decided we need to do this again soon, spontaneously going to the dollar store and buying more glow sticks, which our local store said they keep in stock.  I hope a nice assortment will always be available.  It was a lot of fun.

My Brothers get in Touch with their Soft Side


I thought this picture was so cute I had to share!

Last week we watched the latest Tinker Bell movie Secret of the Wings with our nieces.  The DVD/Blu-ray release also comes with the Pixie Hollow Games.  It was first broadcast on the Disney channel November 2011 and was supposed to be a full-length movie, but ended up as a 30 min. short.  It also stars another character other then Tinker Bell: Rosetta, the garden fairy obsessed with all things pretty.

I saw it for the first time before the Olympics, when the Disney Channel rebroadcast it, and I found it charming.  I'm so glad it was included on Secret of the Wings.

As you can tell my brothers loved it too!
And they laughed all the way through the show.

My Brother is Home at Last!


It's crazy to think that my brother Robbie came home from his Argentinian mission just last week.  It's still sinking in.  Here are some photos from his homecoming.

Sharing a good laugh.




Home at last!!
