Happy Birthday Nicholas!!


My baby has turned 2! He's been saying he was 2 for a few weeks now and has been acting like he's 2 for over a month. That's when he's not thinking he's 5 and can do everything the other two can! I do feel bad for him though. Because his birthday is so close to Christmas and New Years I don't even think about it until the 2nd of January! At least I had his birthday gifts already and didn't have to figure that out - just what to do.
We decided to repeat his birthday from last year at Cici's Pizza. We told a few friends we were going and they decided to join us. The kids all enjoyed it - because they love Cici's. And the parents all had a great time together. Nick loved the two bite cupcakes that I got - especially that he was the only one to get two of them!
He opened his gifts with some help from his sister and friends - in a very Daddy like manner. Open one, play with it, then finally turn to the next one. Ryan and Emma have had a field day with all of Nick's new toys. I even wrapped and brought all the toys that had come in the mail from our families. He did great!

Overall, he had a great birthday!

Happy New Year!


We had another wonderful New Year's Eve with our friends the McDonalds. They have two boys that are the same ages of Ryan and Emma and our kids always have fun together. We had them over for pizza dinner and game night. We helped the kids play a few games and we played my new Scattegories Categories.
We celebrated New Years as normal - at 9pm! That way were able to get the kids to bed at a reasonable time and still enjoy our New Years. Of course, the real New Years was celebrate in our pj's watching the ball drop and remembering the time we went to NYC.
We hope everyone has a great 2012!
