It's a Boy - Baby Brother is coming in July 2016!

Our family is about to become a family of 5!  We are expecting a baby brother on July 9th.  When I found out the sex I filled a box full of blue balloons and asked the kids and Daddy to open it, if blue balloons came out it's a boy, if pink balloons came out it's a girl.  They opened the box and cheered at the blue balloons, everyone but Siena who stared at them in disbelief.  She told me later she was upset because she don't like the color blue or boys.  I told her that means she will remain the princess of the house and she will love her baby brother so much when she meets him.  

Legoland NYE and Braydon's 6th birthday party

We asked Braydon what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said he wanted to stay at the Legoland hotel so we decided to celebrate on New Years Eve with all his friends.  We got a Pirate themed room which was awesome!  There were bunk beds for the kids and a scavenger hunt when we arrived to open a treasure chest in the room with lego Mixels and magazines in it.  We hangout at the park all day and watched the lego ball drop and fireworks.  Then we all got dinner at the hotel and sang happy birthday.  After we danced at the Lego dance party.  It was a perfect day and night!   On New Years day we got breakfast and spent the day in the park.  Siena rode her first roller coaster with Daddy and LOVED it!  She's our little thrill seeker!

Tahoe for Christmas with the Greenes

We flew up to Tahoe to spend the holidays with the Greenes.  It was a really fun time.  It snowed almost every day we were there and there was fresh powder snow. On Braydon's birthday Bray, Craig, Kim & Jake skied Mt Rose and Jesse, Rick & I decorated the condo for his birthday and got a cake.  Morgan and Bry and their kids came by for a visit and we had a little birthday party.  The 24th we played in the snow in the back of the condo, sledding and laughing.  Then we went to Mass.  On Christmas we spent the day opening presents and playing in the snow again.  The 26th everyone skied Homewood, Siena took lessons and loved it.  Shelley came to visit and her and I grabbed lunch.  Each night we watched Star Wars and played games.  The kids LOVED hanging with their cousins!
