Guess who's FOUR?!

😍😎πŸ’₯ Andrew Phillip!!! 😍😎πŸ’₯

He is SUCH A DELIGHT and a blessing and we love him so very much!! 

He wanted a GIANT COOKIE CAKE for his birthday, so we obliged him and I think it was a great success!

We snuck out - after 2 tries - and finally got him balloons!

James showered him with confetti that our waiter gave us from NYC - James wanted to re-create the experience for Andrew πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
 
 

Cookie cake YUMMMM!!!

Happiest boy ever!!

He got so many presents and so much LOVE!!! 
 
πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ Grandparents were in FULL spoil mode πŸ˜„πŸ˜„


We are SO THANKFUL for you, Andrew Phillip!!
You are such a JOY to all of us!!

St. Patrick's Day and the 2nd Orchestra!

πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€We had our famed Corned Beef and Cabbage to celebrate St. Patty's this year, though we were sad that the chef was not Grandpa...πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€

The teen-angels had their first concert with the second Orchestra that they joined and it was SO AWESOME!! We were excited to go see them perform!
It was quite an orchestra!  They had little kids...
And middle kids...
And big kids! 
 
I must admit that I didn't really "get it" at first - why do we need another orchestra?!  But after this show, I got it!! It is so much fun and such a different style!!

 
πŸ‘‡πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽDon't miss the BASS SPIN!!!πŸ‘‡πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜Ž

And now for the cool part...😎😎😎


Fantastic show!!!
Fan club 😍
😎😎 What a blast!  We are so proud of these kiddos!! 😎😎
