Greg is over the hill

My baby brother turned 40 this year.  My mom put on a surprise party for him and it was fun to go down and spend some time with family and friends.  We had a Cafe Rio burrito bar and it was so yummy.  Lots of good toppings for that and for the ice cream sundaes we had for dessert.

Greg found out beforehand, so he decided to bring his craps table that he built himself when he was in college.  In fact, I think teaching people to play craps and then beating them at it is how he paid for his expenses while going to college.  So, he taught everyone who wanted to learn how to play, much to the dismay of this mother, my boys enjoyed it.

Friends

I can't remember for sure which weekend these pictures were taken, because this is a regular weekend activity at our house.  The boys have their friends over to play WOW, Magyk, Video Games, or just to hang out.  We end up with an entryway so crowded with shoes you can barely get through.  But, at least they are here and we know they are safe and not doing anything crazy.  They have good friends and we love having the house full.

Nothin' But Net

Well, it has begun...........No more Saturday morning yummy breakfasts because basketball season has begun.  Tyrel and Trevin are both playing this year.  We got up bright and early Saturday morning for Trevin's game at 8 am, then back home to do chores and back down to town for Tyrel's game at 1:00.  Sean is coaching Tyrel's team this year.  They both lost.............by quite a ways.  But they both seemed to have fun.

Christmas Eve PJs

These are the PJs we got for the boys to open Christmas Eve.  This is another one of the traditions they still indulge their old mother in because they like it.  Little did I know that this is all they would wear each and every day of Christmas break.  At least it cut down on the laundry each week.
