On the Fourth Day of Christmas~

My true love gave to me ~ four birthday presents, three games of Dutch Blitz, two dancing nephews, and a sweet baby under the Christmas tree.

Well, you may have figured out...the fourth day of our family "Christmas" was actually Michael's birthday! We spent the morning in church and came home to chill out for a couple of hours before the party started again. Mid afternoon, family friends of ours, Kevin and Julie and their daughter Chloe, came over. Kevin is a fantastic photographer, among his many other skills. He took by far the best photos (professional quality) of us at our wedding even though he just showed up for about 15 minutes at the reception. We decided this was a good year to have our pictures taken since we were all together as a group. Each family unit wore a different color. The three boys were not very cooperative, but I am still excited to see the pictures when he is finished. K, J, and C stayed for dinner along with Cori again and my brother Andrew and wife Shayna. That made 16+MD for pizza dinner. Why pizza? If you have to ask, you don't know Michael too well... After dinner, Michael opened his birthday presents and we lit sparklers. Then time for another rousing game of Dutch Blitz. Happy Birthday, old timer!
