Happy Birthday Peeege!!!


Yesterday our best friend Paige turned 3-years-old...Happy Birthday Paigeeeee!!! Playgroup came over to our house to toast the birthday girl with the yummy cupcakes that Aunt Dara made. Poor Madison had to miss the fun because she was at school but we all get to celebrate again tomorrow morning @ Paige's official party :-)

The birthday girl!

Luke-man...so desperately wanting the cupcakes to be served

Lauren & her Mommy, Claire...Lauren is going to be a big sister in just a couple of months!

Abby & her big brother Andrew have arrived!

Time to sing

We finally get to the good stuff...Andrew, Lauren, Audrey & Jaeden enjoying their yummy cupcakes...

Luke was a gracious host...there weren't enough chairs at the table so he obligingly enjoyed his cupcake on the ground. At one point he put the cupcake on his plate & attempted to eat it like a dog. Nice work buddy.

Nathan & the birthday girl!

Sweet baby Scarlett & her Mommy, Vanessa

Luke is already feeling the affects of the sugar

Happy Birthday Peeege! We love you!!

Out!

Saturday we went over to the Sanchez' for playoff football. The kids so thoroughly enjoyed the huge house full of all new toys that they were completely wiped out! They crashed almost the minute they got in the car. Good thing too because we were meeting Bagga Glen for dinner & we needed the rest :-)

Dinner at the Sakai's

Friday Heather, Kevin & Ryan Sakai hosted us & the Florios for chili night. We always have so much fun with them & it's an added bonus that Heather is such an amazing cook :-) We only got a few minutes with baby Ryan before he had to head off to bed...he is such a sweet & happy little guy!

Doing a little dance in between bites

I don't think Luke realizes I am capturing this on film as he attempts to bite his sister...

Getting silly

T-mo (sp?) is the worlds sweetest cat! He endured the kids pets & kisses all night & didn't complain once...

Luke the Little Brother

When we took our trip to the snow last week Luke was taking the head off of Madison's snowman & throwing it at her & Daddy (typical little brother). I caught a short video of him in action. If you have the sound on you can hear his evil laugh & Madison scolding him :-)

Big Girl Bike!

True to his word Santa delivered the big girl bike that Madison had requested. We were a little nervous because the last time we went bike shopping she was scared by the wobbling of the training wheels. It was great to see that she hopped right on & took off with no fear! While we waited for our families to arrive she spent her time doing laps around the house. Here is a little video of her maiden voyage...
