Look Who Lost His First Tooth!

Last week Nicholas lost his first tooth while I was at Volleyball! So in the morning he comes running down and said that he got $5! I asked him what he got that for and he told me. I had to take a picture right away since Daddy told me he didn't take any the night before. Mike said he was pretty tough and pulled it out himself! Good job Nick!

Maria's 8th Birthday Party

Maria celebrated her Birthday on January 2nd! I can't believe she is already 8! They grow up WAY too fast! She had her party at Chuck E Cheese in WSP at 10am! It was PERFECT! Not too busy! That is the way to go if you want it at Chuck E Cheese! Here are some pics from the party!


Renzo and Marisa liked to climb up the slide!


Jon and Nick on a roller coaster ride.


Jon at Skee Ball...Wonder if he got a big score?


Nick on the Helicopter ride.


This was the only "ride" that Marisa would sit in. It is the one that takes your picture and prints it out...


Blowing out the candles!


She was scared of the Chuck E Cheese character on stage and in real person! She hung onto Daddy tight!

Happy 8th Birthday Maria!

New Years Eve 2009

Once again we celebrated New Year's in Woodbury. All my siblings and their families came over for some dinner and after that we headed out to the Bielenberg Sports Complex for the Family New Year's Celebration! This would be our 3rd year attending! It is a great way to celebrate with the kids and for them to run around and burn off some of their energy! After the fun at Bielenberg we headed back to our house and the kids played while the adults watched some movies! Matt brought a projection player so we watched a couple movies on our wall. It was a fun night and even the kids were all up at midnight to wish in the New Year! Shortly after that everyone headed home...We were all TIRED! Here's to a WONDERFUL 2010! Enjoy the pics!


Can you see the picture on the wall? It was great watching movies like this!

Grandma's Birthday And Some More Christmas Presents!

Grandma and Papa came over to our house for Grandma's birthday. Mom and Dad, Grandma and Papa and Auntie Christine and Uncle Doug were all going to Mystic Lake to play BINGO for her birthday and have lunch. So before they went to play they came over and we opened up our Christmas presents from them. We didn't make it to Buffalo on Christmas day because of the weather. It was like X-mas all over again! We got some really cool skateboards and Marisa got a doll house. We all loved our gifts! Thanks Grandma and Papa! After opening up gifts we served Grandma her cake! It was delicious! Daddy made it and we got to help him! Below are some pics! Enjoy!


Jon and his new skateboard!
