January Birthdays

On the Saturday of MLK, Jr. weekend, Matt and Amy hosted a great party at their home. Unfortunately, Debbie had to work in her shoppe and wasn't able to join us. We missed her.  But everyone else came and we had a really nice time. Amy and Matt's home is really beautiful. When we first arrived, Matt showed Neal some of the work they'd done in the front.

Liv wanted to know what was going on out there so she pulled on her boots, wrapped Nonno's scarf around her neck and headed out.

Nonno made her a snowball.

Back inside, Amy had set out wonderful appetizers for us to enjoy - cheeses, dips, fruits, vegtables, crackers. It was great. And like everything Amy does, it was served with great flare and style. Check out the star-shaped baskets she used to present the appetizers!

Andrea, Drew and Liv enjoyed some snacks.

And so did Matt and Amy.

Amy set up a "Kid's Korner" in the living room. She had markers, coloring books, drawing paper, crayons - everything for the kids to play with and be creative!

Liv loved Kid's Korner.

She and her Nonno colored together.

Matt and Amy have a great big fireplace in their living room and Matt made a wonderful fire that afternoon.

Brian, Maureen and the boys came, too. It was really nice to see them all again. Everyone enjoyed pizza and had a great time.

Before he left, Jack got a nice hug from his Aunty Amy.

When it was time to go, Liv put on her jacket, got her backpack and followed the boys out the door.

Happy Birthday to Matt and Andrea. And thank you to Matt and Amy for a great day!
