Daddy's Birthday

We had a wonderful time celebrating Jim's Birthday on St. Patrick's Day.  As always the family was all decked out in our celebratory holiday color and coincidentally Jim's favorite color - GREEN! :)

Since, his birthday fell on Thursday this year Jim had to go to work.  Nevertheless, we were able to take him out for a Birthday lunch at Daphne's! :)  Here we are dining away.  The weather was perfect; we couldn't have asked for a better day, especially since it was forecasted to rain earlier in the week.

 

That evening we meet up with Jim's Dad after work and all headed to The Cheesecake Factory, Jim's choice for dinner.  Yummy!

Here are Evie and Pops having a fun time together playing with the sugar packets. 

And here is a nice picture of the whole fam in our St. Pat's colors!  Go green!

After dinner we headed back to our place for presents and cake and ice cream.  We passed on eating cheesecake this year from the Factory and instead celebrated with a special mint chocolate cake that I made for Jim and Leatherby's Mint Chip Ice Cream from my parents who meet us back at our place for the celebration.

Evan had a lot of fun helping Daddy open all his presents.

However, he wasn't very excited about what was inside of them. 

 

After all the presents, we lite the candles.  Evan was however, very excited about how many candles Daddy had on his cake. :)  He loved singing Happy Birthday and helping Daddy blow all the candles out.

The kids especially enjoyed eating the cake and ice cream.  Here is Evan dining away with Daddy who was actually on the phone with his Mom, wishing him Happy Birthday too, during the festivities.  :)

Evie loved the cake and ice cream too.  Yummy- these kids love their sweets!

 

Finally we leave you with a picture of Evie looking cool...she gets this coolness from her Dad! :)

 

Happy Birthday my love; you are the best husband a girl could ever have!  Here's to a year full of amazing things.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Birthday Daddy!

Hope you are all having a very special Saint Patrick's Day!  We sure are as we get to celebrate our Daddy's Birthday!  Love you Daddy!  From your two little lucky charms and Mommy....XOXOXOXOX :)

First (Mini) Pony Tail

So I have attempted to put a mini pony tail (mini because her hair is still pretty thin) in Evie's hair a couple of times now, and have not taken any pictures.  Mainly because she never leaves it in for very long and always tries to pull it out.  This time we had success for a little while on March 4 and she kept it in.  She did pull it out eventually, but I manged to get several cute pictures before the destruction.  Enjoy...I sure did!

First time on Carousal

Last Saturday, February 26, Jim and I took the kids on the Carousal at the mall.  It was so much fun.  Evan rode the dragon.  That was what he wanted to ride.  Evie was on the horse right next to the dragon.  Both kids had a super time.  Evie didn't want to stay on the horse during the whole duration of the ride.  With it going up and down and the carousal spinning round and round I don't know what she thought, but she wanted me to hold her for part of the ride. :)  Here are some pictures of all of us to capture the expereince.  Good times!
