Bears versus Lions

Today the Bears played the Lions, Jeff's favorite team.  Alex thought it would be funny to pull out a football jersey given to him by cousin Jonathan and cheer against Jeff.  Not so much. Alex ended up watching most of the game in the basement!

Happy Birthday Aunt Melinda!

Happy Birthday!!!

No Gerls

Alex made these signs for his room today.  You would think that with four boys and just two girls in the family, this wouldn't be an issue.  But apparently, he had a point to make!

Pretty funny stuff.

Build A Bear Party

Elena's friend Evie celebrated her fourth birthday at the Build A Bear Store.  Unfortunately, Jeff was on call, so the twins and I went along with Elena to the party.  It turned out to be a fun party, and Elena made a new friends to bring home.

Elmo Goes to School Too

Elena brings a new item to preschool each Friday for Show and Tell.  This week, Elmo came along for the day.
