Parent Playdate in NYC

Last night, we had a much need couples night out with our friends from Tumbles! It was a fun-filled night filled with lots of laughs, dancing, and "adult conversation." We met up at Dina and Anthony's, and then we boarded a full sized party bus to NYC (complete with a stripper pole). We had such a fun night at Hotel Chantelle! Kristy arranged for a private area on the rooftop bar with delicious appetizers and drinks, and we had enjoyed checking out the music on each of the three floors. We didn't make it home until 4:45 this morning! It was a memorable night. I'm so happy that we made such wonderful friends through Grace's JW Tumbles class 4 years ago!

The Mommies

Ballet with Bella

Grace is so excited that her best buddy, Bella, has joined her dance class! These two are way too cute together! 

Falling in Love with Autumn

It's officially Autumn, and we were happy to make our first trip of the season to DePiero's Farm. We had a fun filled playdate complete with apple cider donuts, a few runs through the hay maze, a visit with the farm animals, and some quality time with Aunt Maylene, Wally, Nicky, Olivia, and Wally's best buddy, "Big Andrew." 

Grace and Andrew were so happy to run through all the pumpkins and stick their heads through various comic foregrounds.

They had so much fun running through the hay maze! I love watching these cuties together!

40 Years of Wedded Bliss

Sunday dinner was extra special tonight! We celebrated Nana and Grandpa's 40th wedding anniversary at Aunt Dana and Uncle Vito's home. We had a delicious meal, and we enjoyed each other's company. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad/Nana and Grandpa! Here's to another 40 years of wedded bliss!

The 40th Wedding Anniversary is the ruby anniversary. As part of our gift, we presented Nana and Grandpa with beautiful, ruby red, Waterford crystal toasting flutes. We're look forward to celebrating some more when we schedule our overnight in NYC.

Grace, Andrew, and Kate helped Nana and Grandpa make a wish as they cut their delicious cake.

Happy Birthday Little Lady

Everybuggy had a wonderful time celebrating our "Little Lady's" 1st birthday today! We had a ladybug themed party today at Mezza Luna Bistro Ristorante for our littlest sweetheart. Our entertainment, Kurt Gallagher, was a hit! His playful songs, stories, puppets, and sing alongs intrigued all of the guests (young and old). The children were happy to get called up to the microphone to sing some of their favorite children's songs, and they all loved dancing, popping bubbles, and using the instruments. We felt extremely blessed to be surrounded by our family and friends! Everybuggy made Katherine feel special! Aunt Dana made her Goddaughter an outstanding tiered ladybug cake and beautiful cupcakes, which tasted just as amazing as they looked! Katherine certainly enjoyed her party! She looked adorable in her Bella Duo personalized shirt and fancy tutu! It was such a memorable day complete with delicious food, fantastic entertainment, and the best company! Happy birthday Kate! You have brought us all so much joy this past year! Thank you for filling our lives with happiness. Mommy loves you to the moon and back! xoxo

We put Kate's 1st birthday portrait on the entry table. She loved being photographed at Picture People earlier this week.

These were the party favors (made with love by Mommy).

Aunt Dana made such impressive desserts!

Uncle Vito and our very own "Cake Boss"

Grandpa wanted to wear a party hat, too!

Grace looked very festive in her Ladybug dress.

Kate was so happy that some of her Tumbles friends could be with her to celebrate! Eventually Kate, Ethan, and Jacqueline will all be in the same class at Lollipop School, too.

Nanny and Poppy loved being surrounded by their grandsons.

Grace and Andrew were called to the microphone to sing "Happy Birthday" to their baby sister.

Kate loves popping bubbles!

These two little munchkins are so cute together!
