Hello everyone,

Here are the rest of the pictures I currently have. I hope to have some special surprise pics the next time I post. These are pics from Fenori's 30th birthday weekend. Grandpa and I stayed with the kids while T and Fenori went out for the day on her actual birthday 1/16. Then I took Fenori to the Mall of America to get a good haircut, lunch and shopping. She got a great haircut and we had a wonderful lunch at Tucci Benucci (the food was unbelievable!). She wasn't too interested in shopping (a story for a future post!) so we left there and went to Ikea. Fenori had never been there before. We had fun and found some real bargains to take home. Here are the pics:


On her birthday morning T fixed up a warm and comfy spot for her to read and watch her favorite movies while he took care of the kids, the cleaning and the cooking!

The girls had fun watching a movie in Mom's special spot when T took Fenori out to eat.

Zoo just up from his nap drinking juice and eating mini M&Ms.

You can see that he still looks a little sleepy but also has a little chocolate on his lip!

Fess was eating "emmies" and playing with Zoo's blocks.

Lili was joining in the fun, you just can't see her chocolate!

Deuce LOOKS like she's practicing yoga or something!

Here she is playing dress up with Lili in the background.

Zoo wanted to play, too. Notice the pretty purple princess slippers on his feet. Shhhhh... don't tell T!

Lili playing dress up with a hoop skirted wedding dress.

Fess wearing her fairy wings and leotard.

I wonder what her fairy name would be? Too cute!!!

This picture of Deuce is a little fuzzy, but I didn't have another one of just her. I wanted you to see her new front tooth. She has another coming in on the other side, too. She's getting to be so grown up !

Here's Lili up close and pretty!

Fess in her jammies with a teeny smile!

Zoo in his jammies, too.

We had a DQ birthday cake for Fenori when we got back from the Mall. The kids are using the little plates and utensils that we picked up at Ikea!

The kids ALL love dancing to Irish dancing music on the computer.

Here they are! They had so much fun and so did we, watching them!

Daddy's helping Fess and Deuce is perfecting her kick!

More Daddy dancing and notice Zoo's dancing shoes! (Mommy bought him some new Winnie Pooh shoes for dancing so he doesn't have to wear pink ones anymore!)

Zoo loves dancing just as much as the girls!

This is Deuce being spun by Daddy. Notice the hand motions! :)

Zoo and Fess really picking up the speed!

Fess DOES have a smidge of Irish in her, I think!

Deuce and Lili are trying a spin move!

They must have tried it with Zoo and it didn't work too well!

How's that for Irish dancing form?!

The dancing crew posing for Grandma's camera.

Posing again with the HUGE suckers we picked up at a MOA candy store.


I hope Fenori enjoyed her birthday as much as we all did! It was great fun for me. The two of us used to get away and go shopping when she was young, but haven't had too many times to do that since she met T! We love taking the kids and going, too, but this was just special!

I hope you are all staying warm in this very COLD time of year. Global warming? Yea, right!!! Have a great week!

Shalom in Him,

Robin
