About
Before I became a Christian, I dabbled in astrology. My sign is Gemini, and one word that the books kept using to describe my sign is "variable". Now, I think to a certain degree, we are all variable, but sometimes I feel like that is all I am. This blog is an attempt to sort through my variables and get to know the essential me.

It's Birthday Time

mmm...icingbig bites onlythis candle required some extra spit

Our family does birthdays in an interesting way.  We celebrate the birthdays in chunks.  December through February are particularly busy birthday months in the Hickman family.  We had our "Chunk of Birthdays" celebration at Mom's this weekend.  We had chili, chicken "clam" chowder, hashbrown casserole, dip, etc, etc. 


Logan got more presents including a skeeball game and some clothes.  Birthday cards abounded as did laughter.  


We got Mom the Mexican Train domino game and we all stayed up until midnight playing it.  It has a station that has train sound effects--really obnoxious and long-lasting sound effects.  When it got quiet, Matt would say, "so, who wants to hear the train?" and slamm the button. 


When we got home tonight, we found out that our hot water heater was busted.  So after Matt got back from Bible study, he went and bought a hot water heater at Lowes.  He's installing it now.  I'll let you know tomorrow how it went....

Re: It's Birthday Time

Tessa,
We love train!!!!!!!! We just learned to play a few weeks before christmas and are totally addicted. I used to think that people who played dominoes were weird but it turns out that dominos are super fun. Sometime we should come stay in your newly rearranged guest/tv room and stay up too late playing train.

Re: It's Birthday Time

Heath wins train on a regular basis and likes to call himself the "conductor".

Re: It's Birthday Time

I challenge Heath to a train match. When ever he feels frisky.

Re: It's Birthday Time

Tessa, I LOVE Mexican Train. Mark and Leslie got us hooked, we got our families hooked. It's so addictive! My dad, I found, is forcing every guest to play! Anyway, great story about Bentonville...sorry about the water heater, though! I love the new pics of you, Matt and the boys. They are so cute-the new design is awesome! See you guys soon!
