5 months old and Happy Birthday Tony!



Aren't they simply adorable?


Happy Birthday!
Tony turned 30 on Sunday. He requested a red velvet cheesecake and it actually turned out pretty good (one layer of red velvet, a layer of cheesecake, a layer of red velvet, and frosted with cream cheese frosting)

Oh and as a side note, Jack got a haircut. Doesn't he look like Tony's mini-me. 


And here are the twins! 5 months old and simply adorable. They are certainly beginning to show their personalities.








Snowzilla

I am finally posting after our crazy snowzilla (schools were closed for over a week).
We got two feet of snow in less than 48 hours which is crazy for this area. 

So we capitalized on the situation and built a snow cave. It was my very first snow cave, so I'm quite proud.

Jack also loved the snow days, because we just opened up the door that separates upstairs from us and the upstairs neighbor kids and Jack just played together pretty much nonstop. 




Jack's Interview

For Valentines Day Tony and I did this little question game to see how well we know each other. We decided to ask Jack some of the questions as well. Here was his interview. These are his answers:

What is your favorite place to go with friends? Callie's House
What is your favorite dinner? Mac & Cheese and an orange
What is something you want mom to stop doing? Not playing games with me when I want you to.

What are you really good at? Board Games
If we moved and you could only bring one thing with you, what would it be? My pillow and blanket would be a good idea. Oh, and nemo. Yeah yeah, Nemo. (Nemo is his fish stuffed animal that he sings to sleep, that always needs a high five after I give Jack a high five, or a sticker after Jack that gets a sticker. He also has his own pillow and blanket, and is sorely missed when Jack goes to preschool or church without him)
