Amanda's Birthday Tribute

Allison has always looked up to her big sister and they have spent every birthday together the last 25 years (because it's on the same day). This year it wasn't possible to be together on the big day so we looked through some old pictures in memory of her and this helped Allison feel better. Here are some of the highlights. Happy Birthday Amanda, see you soon.

Happy birthday T.O.

Since Al and I were going to be in Newport, RH, on my birthday, we decided to have cake a day earlier. That happened to be 8.8.08 which was also the opening ceremonies for the Olympics.



That meant we had to fit in the singing, cake and ice-cream, and presents during commercial breaks.



I'll admit it, the Olympics are probably the only thing on earth that is more exciting than my birthday - barely.

Sick of all these Birthdays

December is a busy month around here as many different family members celebrate their birthday. Our niece, Noelle Coleman, starts us off on the 19th, Allison's brother, Kevin, is on the 20th, her Dad is on the 25th, and Allison, her sister Amanda Coleman, and my Grandmother Brown, all share the 27th. We don't have pictures of each one, but they were all very exciting. We had a breakfast dinner for our niece,Noelle, after which her mom, Amanda, became ill with the stomach virus. The next evening we all had dinner at Cheesecake Factory for Kevin, after which Allison, her Dad, her brother Bryan, and nephew Lincoln became ill with the same stomach virus.
Thursday night me and her Mom caught the virus, followed by her cousin Alex a day later. We thought we were finished with the virus until the following Tuesday, Amanda's husband, who had only been in town a couple of days, fell ill too. At least Christmas day we were virus free. Monday we made homemade pizza's for her Dad's birthday, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by Christmas, which barely beats out the birthday. Wednesday, Allison and Amanda were treated to a morning at the spa and a facial, then some shopping, and finally a dinner at McLean Pizza. As you can tell, pizza is a family favorite. Thankfully after this dinner, no one got sick.
