reasons to celebrate!

We've been busy the past few weekends with lots and lots of celebrating! So much so, that we are looking forward to getting our diets back to normal and keeping things a little modest for a while. About 10 days ago, we celebrated Tom's 37th (gasp!) and went out for an amazing dinner at Maroni's in Northport. Tasting menu style, we tried about 25 different dishes that night -- all of which were delicious! The next weekend, my parents celebrated their FORTIETH (also known as their Ruby) wedding anniversary, and we had a small but fun celebration with, of course, lots of food and cake! Phew! Who knew so much good news could make you so full! 

So before we move on and get back to our normal routine, I just want to say again how much I love you all -- my adorable husband AND my wonderful parents! And there is no one else in the world I'd rather get fat for than you guys!

Happy Birthday, America!

mother's day weekend: friday.

On Friday, Andy invited me to a Mother's Day Tea at his preschool. He made me many special gifts, including a beautiful flower pin, a plant, and an interview that he gave, discussing all of the things he loves about his mommy. Apparently I looooooove to do the dishes!

He also sang a few songs with the rest of his class -- classics like last year's "I love Mommy" (sung to the tune of "where is thumbkin") and some new ones like "You are My Sunshine" and "Skinnamarinky Dinky Doo." Of course, I cried when he pointed to me and sang: "I loooove you, you, boop boop be doo."

 

 Then we snacked on muffins that he and his class made special for our little soiree.

 And last but not least,

Andy spilled juice all over his super-cute outfit. 

C'est la vie!

our little family party.

Last night, Tom came home early from work so that we could all eat dinner together and celebrate his birthday. We had a fun dinner at a local diner, then came home for some homemade carrot cake (courtesy of mama and her two little sous chefs) and to open a few presents.
