HAPPY FAMILY DAY!

We decided to have our own little holiday: Family Day. It probably really exists but I don't know when it really is, so we decided to celebrate on Thursday the 17th. Ella turned 6 months and Drew has now been a part of the family for longer than he was not a part of it (longer than it was just Jeff and I). A little bit of stretch...but who needs a good excuse to celebrate!?!
In the morning I took the kids to an MBASA activity where they got to meet Cosmo, run around and break a pinata (Cosmo actually broke the pinata because, "he's so strong." Unfortunately I forgot my camera. I borrowed a friend's so hopefully I can post some pictures later.
Drew and I had a fun time making cupcakes and decorating them. Ella was really interested and finally got a fistful when we were trying to take picture with the self-timer (look close in the picture of her and Drew).
Jeff had a long day at school so we took him some cupcakes and put them in his locker. It ended up being quite the ordeal because parking is a nightmare! It was fun for us to visit Daddy's school even though we didn't get to see him.
We went to dinner that night at the Brick Oven because Drew had a coupon for a free kid's meal from his birthday. While they were singing to him he buried his face in the cushions but as soon as they left he got all excited about the ice-cream and sucker and told us he loved the place. It's amazing what treats do for this kid.

Another plus (outside our little family), my sister had her baby; making her a momma of 4! We're excited about the new addition and hope we get to see little JD before he's running around :)
Anyway, it ended up being a fun-filled day. I think we are going to have to make it a tradition.

HURRAY FOR FAMILY!
