It began with make-your-own-burritos for dinner, four 2-liter bottles of soda (only because it was a special occasion), everyone around the big table, and way too much conversation to follow.
Next it's rock 'n roll blaring and 7 Morrow kids dancing. After dinner, mom goes to clean up and Nicholas (the DJ) starts the music. Alexander immediately whips out the electric air guitar and with that, the dance-a-thon is inevitable. B and I get Anderson (2 years old) involved with head banging and spinning in circles. With a grin plastered across his adorable chunky cheeks, he dances nonstop for 20 minutes. In baby code, this is a long, long time.
We decide to go get ice cream. But within the time it takes for us to get out the door and loaded into the van, all the ice cream places have closed. Instead we opt for the grocery store where we buy the ice cream, waffle cones, and sundae toppings. We set it all up along the counter and it's buffet style -- all you can eat. We realize it truly is much better that way.
After the parents and the children 10 & under go to bed, we pick a movie (which is always an ordeal). Thankfully, my brothers can appreciate a good chick flick -- in fact, they love them. The girls multi-task and do manicures at the table, while Landon and Nicholas watch Zac Efron.
Yes, it was family night at the Morrow house tonight.
ps. we miss you, Taylor.
This is going to make me cry. :(
