Brrr....coldest January ever - 2014

Very cold January this year - they closed school 5 times in January due to the bitter temps and windchill.   All us kids went a little stir crazy.  Here's some pics from a zoo trip with Liam and Myonghai when we braved the cold outside.   Thanks to Ann for taking us.

Ended the month right with my 8th birthday on the 31st.  Grandma made me a pre-birthday dinner to kick off birthday week.  On the day, went to Murrays for steak with mom and dad.  Then had a killer party at Grand Slam with 13 of my best buddies - Michael, Liam, Bjorn, Will, Karl, Teddy, Josef, AJ, Ben, Martin, Myonghai, Jack C., and Jack B.  We did laser tag, arcade, trampoline, mini golf, and bumper cars.  Mom made her chocolate cake I love to have after pizza.  Then Michael came over after to play with all my new Legos.  (I think my friends all know I love me some Legos.)

Klavdiya comes to visit

You've hear a lot about my 7 Sarazin cousins as they live here in town and I see them a lot.  This is my cousin Klavdiya Baron.  She lives in CT so I don't see her very often.  She's about to turn 2 in this picture.  She and her parents came to visit over Christmas.  She even has her own little mini tablet - I'm impressed!

Nothing says Christmas like Lego Star Wars stuff....enough said

Gingerbread houses December 2013

Annual tradition with Grandma and mom to make our Christmas gingerbread houses.  Take a gander at our artwork.

Fall 2013

Good fall all around.  Soccer team playing well together thanks to great group of guys and mom coaching again.  Went trick-or-treating with Michael once again and added Liam into the mix this year.  Really hitting my stride in school despite lots more homework.  5 hours a week this year!  Now in my 3rd year at PSI have made a big group of friends.  And had countless playdates.

Below is a pic from a dinner party I helped host - we had Bjorn's and Will's families over.  Here's a pic too of good ol' Emer.  She turned 20 this fall.

2nd grade starts

Kicking off 2nd grade right!  In class with good buddy Liam once again - yippee!

Annual State Fair Trip

Made our annual state fair trip with Margaret, Michael, Claire, Rachel, Grandma, mom and me.  Loads of fun as usual.  Guess we forgot to take alot of pictures this year.  Here's one good one with Grandma.

End of summer pool party

Had a great time at the end of summer pool party we hosted at Grandma's and Grandpa's Labor Day weekend.  Invited PSI friends and their families and had 30+ people come.

Take your child to work day with Mom - August 2013

I was a great sport and sat through lots and lots of meetings.  When it got boring, I drew a zombie battle on the white board :)
