Hello friends! The past few weeks have been a blur at our house. We've pretty much had to quarantine ourselves because EVERYONE here has been sick! Andy has pneumonia, I had a sinus infections and the boys took turns with fevers and sore throats. It's been crazy. That, and the fact that I taught all the way through December 23 means I haven't had much computer time!
First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you. I will follow up with a holiday post, but for now I will try to play catch up with some posts of what we did leading up to the holidays.
Our family's other big December celebration is Monkey's birthday. He did WAY more "partying" than any four year old should, but we all had a great time celebrating my little guy!
Monkey's first party was a family party. All the grandparents, aunts and uncles came over to eat his favorite foods: mac and cheese, and Italian sausage. He got to open presents and play with his cousin Michaela. It was perfect.

Opening up one of his many presents.
Taking a test drive on his big boy bike from Mommy and Daddy.He also had a celebration at preschool, followed by a celebration at daycare.
Finally, Monkey had his first "friends" party. He decided who he was going to invite. The party list consisted of his preschool friends, daycare friends, Korean friends, and Mommy and Daddy's friends. He also wanted to make sure that Spike, Mommy and Daddy were invited too:). We held the party at Boun*ce To*wn. It was awesome! The kids had so much fun running around and sliding down all the bouncers. The best part for us was no clean up when it was all over!
Patiently listening to the B-Town rules with some of his friends.
Come on guys...let's go!

Monkey's birthday parties were so much fun. He had a great time, and he is definitely a boy who deserves to be celebrated!

Happy Birthday Mr. Monkey! Having lots of parties is pretty cool - you deserve it. I think I recognize Cohen at Bounce Town - which looks awesome by the way. So fun!
