ralphy is 1!

a whole year has gone by since ralphy was born! he had a great birthday, full of food, presents and fun at his party at the park...just like his sister when she turned one, ralphy wanted nothing to do with his birthday cake...we thought for sure that he would dig in and destroy it, but we were wrong! we'll be taking his special "birthday pictures" soon, but here are some of his day...

elli is 3!

our little girl turned 3 on sunday...since this year it's ralphy's turn to have his first big birthday at the park, we planned a special day for elli to celebrate turning 3! after opening presents at home, we went to ride the little steam train near our house...grandma g & grandpa g met us there...afterwards we picked up elli's cake and she picked out balloons...after naptime, we got ready for the party with the grandparents, uncles and aunt! we had a bbq, cake, ice cream, presents and then a movie outside when it got dark! it was a great day!
