The Jolly Days slide is ALWAYS a hit :). Luke wasn't so into fishing, but daddy caught a whopper ;). I think Luke would have spent the entire time on the slide :). Dino dig.gotta love the goggles! Elizabeth and Kate are extremely intent when it comes to digging :). Dinner at the Potbelly sandwich shop. Lights on the circle.

Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Giftsboth giving and receiving is one of my major love languages.big gifts, small gifts.they speak to me. and i can get pretty bummed out when the "gift" doesn't meet my expectations.
