Homemade Pizza Play Date!

Our house recently got a whole bunch more exciting for an evening when Mommy's friends from college and their kids joined Alice and Mommy for a Homemade Pizza Night and Play Date!  We feel lucky to be close by and to have a big enough house to welcome our friends for fun occasions like this one.

Here are Victoria and Anna keeping watch at the front door:

Here are Nick and Max enjoying juice boxes and pizza:

Alice enjoyed sitting at the head of the table of all her friends!:

How times have changed!:

At the end of the evening, the daddies came back to pick up the mommies and the kids.  Here is Anna with her daddy, Jason, taking some photos for us!:

Here are the rest of the photos from the playdate.  It was lots of fun to get together and we hope we will have a chance to see everyone again really soon!

Happy 30th Birthday, Auntie Chris!

With Baby Mae new on the scene, Auntie Chris and Uncle Dan don't get out as much as they used to.  That doesn't mean that Auntie Chris's 30th birthday would not be celebrated!  Uncle Dan did a great job of planning a "surprise" brunch for Auntie Chris with lots of friends and family at a local restaurant.

Here are Alice and Grampie waiting to surprise the guest of honor at the front door of the restaurant:

Here come Uncle Dan, Auntie Chris and Baby Mae:

Surprise!

Alice had fun celebrating.  In addition to enjoying the festivities, she particularly enjoyed taking photos of Daddy and Mommy:

Daddy finally got a chance to sit and snuggle with his newest niece:

Happy Birthday, Auntie Chris!  We hope you enjoyed your big day.  Welcome to the 30s!  Here are some more photos from the birthday brunch.
