The belated Jay's Bday Blog Post:

Lots of friends from school = check!

Giant Pillow to climb, fall, slide, and lay on = check!

Super excited Baby Sister (and happy Mommy) = check!

Ninja Swords as "best gift ever" = check!

Cookie Cake plus a goofy birthday boy face = check!

Pure joy in a ball pit = check!

Building a house with complete roof = check!  Inviting more guests so that they have to sleep on your back... check... :-(

Batman?  Yeah, he was there too.  

Happy 7th Birthday Jay.

Austrian Vacation between Christmas and 2016

Quick pictures from Shamus: Winter in the Alps is skiing you say, not with 4 tots!  Just crazy upside down houses, swimming (no pictures), playgrounds, and first time ice skating.  Some of these pictures make you think that we've been hitting the steroids and swallowed a Segway to keep our balance.

Ok, we did go to the top of a mountain to see artificial snow (winter is coming late this year I guess) and found an ogre head to climb on!

Zan's awesome face for when a parrot is sitting on your arm.

First ice skating trip for the boys.  Rose hung out with me and Jay was almost up and by himself after two hours.  But Karen had to take turns with each one so they had plenty of time to work up the courage to let go of the helper seals.
