P A R T Y

The big birthday of the second half of January arrived - cousin Jesse's party! And boy were we ever prepared for this ice skating party!

We left home by 8:45 AM in order to get to the rink on time! We were first greeted by the birthday girl herself - and isn't 9 such a pretty age?



Of course we were delighted to party with Jay J and Andrew.

Uncle Jason was never such the life of the party as he was today! Taking everyone from myself, to Matteo,

to Chloe May,


to Auntie,


to GRANDMA for a ride!

Dare I say Uncle Jason was the life of the party - - yes I do say so! :-)

Even Gramps attempted to get on the ice- for the first time ever. Now ordinarily we would encourage new experiences, but when you are 65, on ice skates, for the first time, I think just about everyone there frowned upon the idea! But Gramps had fun - and didn't break anything!

So once again a Happy 9th to our Dear Jesse and thanks to Uncle Jason for the many many rides and laughs!
