Ian turned 6 yesterday!

For Ian's birthday, as with all Salazar birthdays, I made an Ice Cream cake. This one looked particularly pretty.

Also, he has 2 loose teeth. If you look closely at this picture of him, you can see how the two on the bottom are crooked.

I can't believe my little Ian is growing up!

Then comes Christmas...

This Christmas was a boom for the kids. We bought WAY TOO MUCH!! They received numerous Lego sets, several games, Transformers, train tracks...I'm sure there are many things I am forgetting.

Adam said a couple of times that he was having trouble figuring out what to play with, and his indecision was making him bored! Poor kid.

Solstice 2010

This year was the first in a long time that Justin and I did not have to work the day of the winter solstice. We made cupcakes that had sun shapes in them. Yum! We took a short trek in the foothills and watched the sun set. We got a great family game that was a lot of fun to play (although, we cannot agree on proper pronunciation of the game's name: Carcassonne). And we just had a really nice day at home together as a family.

We are happy that the sun is now swinging back towards our favorite season: Summer!
