sister em and i threw sister rachel a surprise birthday dinner with some of her nearest and dearest. despite em and i being total messes and practically ruining the surprise - she was truly surprised! (or so she says :)
it was one of the greatest achievements of my lifetime.
probably some of my favorite pictures of this little miss ever. glee, shyness, delight - all wrapped up together. i love all her faces.
the mister's birthday was next! we got a sitter (well four actually-papa, oma, and two tantes!) and headed out to pietros for dinner. just the two of us. it was delightful. and ryan got pizza so you know he was happy too. in lieu of a cake this year, i decided to give him what he really wanted: an oreo tower. i won't tell you how long it took for that tower to disappear.
finn enjoyed my pasta leftovers the next day. and when i say enjoyed....i mean, he really enjoyed.
finn can count on each of his tantes to bring him the best of the best. tante em took him out to jump in puddles for the first time. what a gal. he quite obviously had the time of his life. proceeded by a warm bath where hysterics ensued.
the sisters bake! about 130 cinnamon rolls. and parker house rolls. and cheesecakes. it was ten hours of crazy, messy, and hilarious fun. i think the best part was when we collapsed on the floor and ate warm rolls at ten p.m.
finn really loves story time with this one.
the wedick's annual ugly sweater party! i am pretty proud to announce that i won!
we celebrated ryan's birthday with a trip to the city the weekend before christmas! there is somethin' about the city at christmas time. we started at pier 39 to ride the carousel and see the seals.
then we drove through a rainstorm and shortly after we parked, the clouds parted, allowing us to find foley's - the best irish pub, this side of the atlantic :)
and probably my favorite pictures of the day: my mister peering out on a busy street, a rainbow amidst skyscrapers and the original kellys with that union square christmas tree...
