Max's 8th Birthday!

For my birthday I went to Six Flags, watched a movie, and went to the LEGO store. At Six Flags my favorite ride was Congo Rapids because I got very wet. the movie was Despicable Me 2. My favorite part was when they shot jelly at the Minions. At the LEGO store I got a big crane. For my birthday, I got lots of presents including LEGOs, games, puzzles, a bike, and tickets to the Broncos-Giants game.

It was a very good day and I hope my next birthday is the same.

Max Turns 5!

As usual, we celebrated Max's birthday in style . . . not once, but twice!

On his birthday, we had the Bobelians, the Shahs, the Tyndales, the Saint-Sauveurs, and Liana over for Daddy's famous mac&cheese and cake.

The next day, a few of the families from Max's school took in a Staten Island Yankees game. Thanks to the Morrisons, the Scharffs, the Fernando-Englishs, the Punzalans, Team Brecken, and the Garces' for joining us!

Max Turns 4!

I am very lucky this year-- I got to have two parties to celebrate my 4th birthday! We celebrated on my actual birthday with the 4039 crew at the Hilberts house in Michigan and then celebrated with my friends at my party in NYC. In NYC, my music teacher Nikolai performed, and my friends Alexandre, Zabelle, Evan, Olivia, Madeleine (Olivia's sister) Chloe, Lola, Jake, Rainer, Marit, Sophie (Marit's sister), Sarina, Maya (Sarina's sister), Fasil, Ben, and Grace (Ben's sister) all danced away the afternoon. The party was touch-and-go for a minute when Mom and Dad served watermelon rather than pizza, but they recovered fairly quickly when they served the cake. We followed up the kids party with a dinner with some of our closest NYC friends-- the Bobelians, the Goh/Saint-Sauveurs, and the Kendalls. Dad's macaroni and cheese was a big hit as usual.

Here's a video Dad made a long time ago

I'm 3!

I've been waiting for this day for months-- July 19, my b-day. All the anticipation was well worth it because Mom and Dad threw me the best bash ever. You're not going to believe this, but they actually invited more people than just their friends this year! Some of my friends from school were there-- Lola, Chloe, Erika, Jake T, and Finn (plus his sister, Flora). My babysitter, Carol, brought her kids Dominique, Melton, and Damell. And of course some of the old standbys were there-- Sonali, Aparna, the Shahs, the Saint Saveurs, the Kendalls, and a very special guest appearance all the way from Cincinnati from Nellie Mosiji and my cousin, Anya! Of course, Mom and Dad DID invite the latter group up for the after-party, which was kinda fun too;) Thanks to everybody for the amazing day!
