Two 9 year olds and two 11 year olds...
We popped popcorn in the hot air popper, ate orange slices, candy necklaces...
They stayed up til midnight and had some bubbly apple cider to drink!
What makes me happy? My family, sunshine, giggles, scrapbooking, eating from our backyard, gardening, going for hikes, crocheting, playing in the snow, flowers, riding bikes and drawing!
