Happy Birthday Will....For the last time

Last weekend we celebrated Will's birthday for one last time with all his friends.  He has had a month long birthday celebration with the finale being his friend party. We had 22 little boys at our house and fortunately the weather was the best it had been all spring so we enjoyed some sun while playing sports games outside.  Trying to control 22 6-year old boys is no easy task but we had two girls from down the street doing it for us.  Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun and most importantly Will had a blast and enjoyed his birthday to the fullest!  Here are some pictures!

 I somehow managed to forget to take a picture of my cake table set up so here's one I took before the party.  I was all about DIY this party...which in the end cost me more than had I just bought everything at the darn store. 

 

 

 

Early Easter

We celebrated a fun early Easter with my mom's side of the family a couple of weekends ago.  The boys had fun playing with their cousins and we enjoyed some quality family time and a delicious Easter dinner!



There's No Stopping Her Now

Since the weather has finally been nice, we broke out the kids outside toys and bikes including the boys motorized ride-on toys.  Well...Sara spent one minute watching the boys riding around on them and immediately wanted in on that action.  Fortunately for us, we have three (thanks to Papi and Nana) and she is now hooked since it allows her to do something her big brothers are also doing.  She picked it  up really quickly and rides around the driveway and yard like an old pro.  Check out her driving skills.....

Santa Parade

Every year, the town has a Santa parade before Christmas.  It is a really cute parade where everyone comes to see Santa ride in on a fire truck and then at the end the kids can get their pictures taken with Santa.  Will had the opportunity this year to ride in a fire truck during the parade.  He was excited and it was so cute to see him waving as he passed by.  Here are a few pictures.

 



Waiting for Will.

Here he is!  He didn't have prime location on the fire truck but he still had fun waving to everyone from above.

Rewind

Okay....so I need to rewind a couple months to catch up on some of the pictures from the holidays that I never got a chance to post.  First up is Thanksgiving weekend.  We went to the cape to celebrate and also go to celebrate very special birthday while we were there.

 My attempt at taking a picture of all three kids.  Jack and Sara didn't want to cooperate.  Will tried his best to coral the two but it didn't work.

 Showing off his turkey creation.

 We celebrated Linda's birthday at the Cape.  The boys get so excited to celebrate a birthday...especially because that means there will be cake.

Then we had some fun with hats.

 While we were at the cape, we also got to see Santa come into the harbor on his boat!

 

 

 Scouting for Santa.

 Here he is!

 

Little Sara slept through the entire thing and never saw Santa.

Spring is Near

 Finally...we experienced some (brief) spring weather this morning.  It was so nice to get outside and play even if it was only for a little.  Being able to run around with no coats on was like a special treat that we haven't had in four long months.  I even broke out the camera to snap a few pictures since it has been in hiding all winter long.  Will starts baseball in a couple weeks so we practicing hitting for a little.  And since the kids haven't had a camera in their face in such a long time, they actually willingly let me take pictures of them.  Whoo!
