We had a great holiday season! It was very busy, but lots of fun. Matt took some time off work so we enjoyed having him around more. Here is a glimpse of what we have been up to lately.......

This boy is so sweet!

The kids played a little basketball

And of course a dance party!
Matt turned 30 over the weekend. We had a little surprise party for him. Here are the kids waiting for us to arrive. (In case you look closely, there is a big picture of the kids that is supposed to go on the wall above the couch. First Nicolas broke the glass. Then I got a new one and while we were hanging it it broke! So now I get to go buy my third frame and hope that three's a charm!)

The only shot we got of him blowing out the candles. I ordered a
tiramisu from his favorite
Italian place instead of cake. He loved it!
