Birthdays

This past weekend we had some celebrating to do!
Saturday was Babcia's 71st birthday. We enjoyed a dinner together and then some cake. I love how Gabe's looking at Lilly in this picture...

Sunday we celebrated Andy's 43rd birthday with his brother, Bill, his girlfriend Christine, and our niece Brooke.
We had panzarottis and Andy's very favorite cannoli cake.

Monday was Andy's actual birthday (yowza!!). He was technically off work for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day but decided his gift to himself was to work all day (at the office) on his dissertation. The girls were so excited for him to come home and open his presents. We decided they would hide behind a large gift and jump up to surprise him when he arrived. They hung out and waited quite a while...

By the time Andy came home Ella was over the whole surprise thing.

"Surprise!"

Daddy likes his (our!) new fire pit. I've been pushing for one for quite some time.

We ended our day of celebration by sharing a great meal and yummy cake with good friends. While this is not the most exciting photo, I love how Andy and Luke are looking the exact same way. Ha.

Happy Birthday Daddy!
