Gift #506- Double Birthday Trouble

Happy 9th Birthday Sam and Macy.
We celebrated with lunch at Jan Jakas, pancakes and bacon for dinner, and 2 cakes for dessert- red velvet and chocolate!  It was a delicious birthday!  Sam asked if he could skip being 9 and go straight to 10.  He wants to get his military id so he can go buy candy all by himself.  I want him both of them to stay 9 forever!

Gift #499- Playing In the Snow

Avery Grace LOVES being outside!  She is going to be an adventurer like her daddy.  Her daddy is very happy about that.  We had a light snowfall last week and AG couldn't even wait to get her shoes on before she headed out the door!

Gift #498- My favorite 14-Year-Old!

Happy 14th Birthday to you Jack!  We love you so much and we are so proud of the young man that you are becoming!  This year you requested a Buttermilk cake like Mrs. Savarese makes.  I don't think that mine was as good as hers, but you never complained!  You rarely do.  Thanks for being wonderful you!

Gift #497- A First Warm Bath

Henry didn't exactly love his first bath.  He made sure to let me know it!  But I sure enjoyed snuggling with him afterwards when he was warm and smelled so sweet!
