this year i was fortunate enough to spend my birthday with almost all of my family. seeing my nieces play was adorable. they are so much more vocal these days.

we made pizza, laughed, fed and held babies, watched the kids run wild, sang karaoke.. it was great.

they got me this karaoke machine. it’s nothing professional, but based on the great fun we had last year singing to the hello kitty machine, this is a step up. i even have a few cds that can be played on the TV that have the lyrics and everything.

i need to figure out how to get itunes to show the lyrics through the tv, but even if it won’t play through the tv, it’s still a lot of fun to sing along to your ipod with a microphone. :)

“pants on the ground, pants on the ground, looking like a FOOL with your pants on the ground….”

friday night i hope to take full advantage of the microphone with my out of town guests (and anyone else that wants to come). we’re going to get dinosaur barbeque and catch up.

the plans for this weekends party are coming together nicely. i am practically giddy for the weekend to get here.

here are the photos i took last weekend. lots of babies.
