Birthday Week!

This past week was dubbed "BIRTHDAY WEEK" as we spent everyday celebrating Nick turning 31. Monday night he and I had a date night out together for dinner and a movie. Tuesday, Nick enjoyed dinner at Skippers Pub on his old stomping grounds (Miami University) with niece, Lindsay. Wednesday, I prepared a favorite...chicken and cheese enchiladas. Thursday morning we had a family breakfast birthday party. Thursday evening we celebrate out with Nick's co-workers. Friday (Gail's birthday), we welcomed Mike, Gail and Kyle to town. Saturday night we went out for our 4th annual dual birthday celebration. And now on Sunday they scheduled the Superbowl to continue the festivities!

We are exhausted from all of the fun!

But seriously, this is often how I'm finding Charlie falling asleep.

It's as if he just passes out sitting up.

One snuggle with the kids before we head out to celebrate with co-workers.

Out at Grandview Tavern with John, Jen and Patrick

February 5th we had a BEAUTIFUL snowfall that totaled about 8 inches.

The kids LOVE playing in it.

Despite the iffy weather, our DEAR friends, Mike, Gail & Kyle braved the forecast to drive up from Cincinnati to spend the weekend celebrating Gail and Nick's birthdays together.

The kids had a ball!

Kyle has a real talent for the drums.

Mike was excellent at dodging the flying drumsticks overhead!

We snuggled, ate, played in the snow, ate more, went out without the kids and just enjoyed LOTS of quality birthday time together!

Mr. Charlie-Bear is standing every chance he can get. What a big boy!!!

Next...preparing for Stella's 3rd birthday in 2 short weeks!!!
