Happy Birthday Scott!

We celebrated Scott's birthday last weekend with a special dinner out with Scott's mom and the kids at Carabba's, compliments of Nana. So yummy and delicious. We love it there! Ethan particularly enjoyed watching the cooks work in the open kitchen..."ohhhh, FIRE!"


















The next day we Skyped with Gigi so the kids could open their Christmas presents from her. She found an Incredibles costume for Ethan and an Incredibles watch and window clings! Ethan was in his glory! He was so super excited to really be able to "be" Dash and/or Violet (he really likes the force field that Violet can make). Gigi gave Olivia a pretty pink hoodie with all of the Disney Princesses on the back and little tiara. Gigi really does spoil them way too much.

The Super Hero...


















...and the Princess.
















On Scott's actual birthday we took the kids to the movies, "The Princess and the Frog." This was Ethan's first time at the movies so we were a little concerned about how he would do. Wow! He was so good and absolutely loved it! He was incredibly adorable sitting in the big seat with his little legs just reaching the end and a big bag of popcorn tucked right next to him. I would occassionally reach across Olivia and pat Ethan's arm and he would say, "I'm okay Mommy. I'm not scared" and go right on pushing handfuls of popcorn in his mouth and watching the movie. He was just so precious. And Olivia was just a little lady sitting with her legs crossed and hands folded resting on her knee. Such a little princess! Both kids really liked the movie, even Olivia who was a bit nervous about going to the movies because "they turn the lights off and it gets dark in there."

That night Scott ordered a pizza he always wants to get...a Chicago deep dish meat lovers pizza from Peppino's. The kids and I got our usual and let Daddy have that monster of a pizza allll to himself. It actually took him about 3 or 4 meals to finish the whole thing! Hope you enjoyed it honey! The kids and I made our usual party hats and cards for him - which he truly does love - and turtle brownies.
