Happy Birthday, Mikey!


We spent most of yesterday at Nana and Pop's celebrating Uncle Mikey's birthday. The boys started the afternoon off with a rousing game of soccer in the backyard.
Henry wore his superhero cape and gloves
and ran a lot. He gave himself a red card for hurting Will's ear.After an hour and a half outside and two snacks, the big kids were starving and ready for some carbonara. Getting goofy. Clink! Mike's birthday dinner is the same each year. Spaghetti alla carbonara
followed by an ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins. So excited about the ice cream cake. Happy birthday, Mikey! 11 candles. Mary blew out half of them for her daddy. Our presents are as predictable as the dinner: an iTunes gift card from us and a shirt from Gene and Nancy.Fortunately, Jess mixes things up a bit each year. Hand weights!We ended the evening with gemadas, which are like a Portuguese eggnog, but better!Happy birthday, Mikey! We had a great time celebrating with you!
