Emma's 7th Birthday

We had a blast at Emma's 7th birthday party at Launch Trampoline park. The birthday girl, who is REALLY into Harry Potter, wanted a Harry Potter-themed birthday celebration, so we broke out our crafting materials and had fun with the wizard decorations.

Beach Birthday

We celebrated Chris' birthday with a low-key, long weekend at Bethany beach with Memere and Poppy. We managed to fit in donuts, board games, a trip to the outlets, and Nicola's pizza. The most exciting part of the trip was the new bunk beds in the girls' room at the beach house. Lots more room for guests and space for playing!

There was some fighting over the top bunk

A very chilly walk on the beach

Beach donuts for Daddy!

Happy 4th Birthday Annie!

Annie got an American Girl for Christmas, so we took the dolls to the American Girl store for tea and shopping.

Ready for tea!

New matching nightgowns!

Cupcakes for the birthday girl

NYE 2017

Our neighbors the Stoessels helped us ring in the new year. The kids did a countdown to 8 pm (bedtime) but no one made it to midnight!

Ready to brave the cold 

It was freezing but we had some fun with confetti wands and poppers.
