Happy Birthday Allyson!

Where did those four years go? You are the exclamation point to our family! I love you so much sweet girl! I hope you enjoyed your cake for breakfast and the gifts that your brothers and sisters gave you! I know you liked your pack of gum! Yay you are four now and you can chew gum like a big kid!

Happy Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Where has the time gone? My smile is brighter just thinking of you and your dazzling persona. I can’t imagine my day without your hugs and conversations. It simply wouldn’t be complete with out a glimpse of the adoring look in your eye as we snuggle for reading time, or watching you tend to Allyson during play, listening to your stories (I am amazed at how in tune you are with others.).
Overhearing you and Ryan discuss schoolwork, witnessing you and Emily practice dance moves, and even playing board games with Zach (minus the bickering!)are all wonderful gifts that you share with us. Thank you for being you!

Happy Seventh Birthday Lulu!

~I love you~

Lulu's fourth birthday

It was a great day! We started out with our traditional cake for breakfast. Don't ask me how it started, but it's kind of cute don't you think?? Then the kids gave her their gifts. Ryan gave her a Carebear and a pack of gum. A pack of gum you ask...in our house you have to be four to chew gum so this was a BIG DEAL! Emily gave her a Little Mermaid nightgown. She loved it of course! Zachary gave her some Web Kindz cards that she quickly opened and scanned through. Neil and I gave her a Wii Sing It game. She is such a little performer. It came with a microphone! The whole family played it for most of the morning. Later on we went to dinner at Lindsey's favorite restaurant...Bugaboo Creek. All of the kids behaved so well. It was nice. What was also really nice was that the place was practically empty due to the Patriots Game. So, in short, Lindsey had a terrific birthday! Here she is (above) chewing her piece of gum and making a wish in her pj's. :) I don't know how she managed to keep the gum in her mouth while she blew out the candle..but she did! What talent! I Love you Lindsey!
