Here it is plain and simple:

• 44 cupcakes, baked, frosted, decorated… eaten
• santa… visited
• hairs cut (for Ben)
• birthday parties… partied
• Evey’s desk… assembled
• Evey’s chair… assembled
• Craft fairs visited but left empty handed
• 10 birthday toys opened
• 1 trip to Costco
• Christmas tree returned, new Christmas tree purchased
• not nearly enough laundry done (is it ever really done??)

Whew, it makes me tired again to type that out. We had a great weekend for Ben’s party and I have LOTS of pictures to post… but Flickr wasn’t cooperating this morning so I have this one I yoinked from my brother. This is Ben and Bill in one of them in one of the inflatable obstacle courses:
