Wow, I need to try your mac-n-chz! But seriously, this was such a darling post. I love how Eli said HE makes you happy. I'm pretty sure he gave the same answer last year. Your kids adore you. That must be such a special feeling. Man, this *almost* makes me want kids. Almost. :)

Love you Sista!

Oh, and best answer: "Loving us" in response to "What am I good at?" My heart melts!
