Happy 3rd Birthday Jack!

Today was Jack's 3rd birthday and what a busy/fun day he had! He woke up to balloons and presents and a birthday muffin. Then off to school wearing his new Flyers jersey!


Singing Happy Birthday in the morning

I LOVE my new jersey :)

Patrick and I brought cupcakes for his class at lunchtime and they all sang Happy Birthday. Jack even sang.... "Happy Birthday to me!" Too cute!



When Mike got home from work we went to the Build A Bear workshop. We had already bought a Flyers hockey uniform so we just made the bear, which Jack thought was really cool, and dressed him all up. His name is "Max".




Then off to dinner at TGIFridays. We had to convince him that they had really good chicken nuggets and french fries like Chik-fil-A. They even sang Happy Birthday and brought out an icecream sundae :) Jack did not like this at all, I think all the singing and clapping scared him. Patrick was happy eating all the icecream! Back home for his real Birthday cake. I think it came out pretty good, but if I had more time to plan it I would have done it differently, but Jack still loved it :)

Happy New Year!

For those that still check our blog I apologize for not keeping it updated. I use Facebook alot more these days but will TRY to keep up with this too. The holidays, as always, went by too fast! We were busy but had a great time and boys just loved every minute of Christmas! This was the first year Jack got to help make and decorate Christmas cookies and we had so much fun. Christmas Eve we went to Aunt Theresa and Uncle Luke's house for a delicious Italian fish dinner and even yummier desserts! Christmas we stayed in and since it rained all day it was a perfect day to stay in. If it was snow we would have had a ton because it poured! The boys loved everything Santa brought so it was a really good day. I made my mom's traditional cinnamon rolls for breakfast, love them! And we even made a big turkey dinner and had lots of leftovers :)

Christmas Eve


playing with their new train table

I have to mention that over the Christmas weekend we (I should say *I*) :) potty trained Jack!!! It took 3 full days but he is completely potty trained! We are so proud of him and he is proud of himself too! Now it's Patrick's turn....

For New Years we drove down to Palm Coast Florida to visit my mom and Ron. My grandma and George came over New Years day and we had a nice lunch and the boys played with all the cool presents from grandma. Unfortunately it was cold while we were there but we did take a trip to St. Augestine and visited the fort and walked around the town and had lunch.

Next up is Jack's birthday. 3 YEARS OLD!! We plan to take him out to dinner and to the Build a Bear workshop. We bought him a little Flyers hockey outfit so he can build his own bear, should be fun! He is all about hockey so we signed him up for skating lessons and bought him skates and a helmet for his birthday. His first lesson is next weekend, can't wait! We will have a birthday party for him the following week so grandma and papa can come down.
