Daddy's Home!!!!

After 4.5 months of Daddy being gone, he's finally home!!! And home earlier than we expected!  My parents were wonderful and watched the littles so I could go to the airport and pick up Joe by myself.  We were able to have a couple nights alone before we went down to Gig Harbor to suprise the kids.  It was such a treat to be able to have him home early and in time for Christmas.


 My parents recently got a new fridge, so we had them hold on to the box!  It was the perfect thing to hide Joe in.  Nana took the kids out to lunch and when they came home, this was in the living room.


Each one of them took a guess as to what was inside and at one point the "box" moved...  oops!


So happy to have Daddy home!!!!



Nicholas and Daddy got to go to thier first Seattle Seahawks game together the a couple days later and had so much fun!!!

Happy Birthday Caroline!!!!

Today we got to celebrate Caroline turning 8 and one of her bestest friends Matt, turning 9.  We did a birthday party when they were turning 4 and 5 at Pump it Up and they had so much fun that we decided to do it again. 

Instead of birthday cake and because our party was early in the morning, we did donuts!
