Last ice skating & celebration

Today was Matteo's last day of ice skating - and all I can say is he did a great job and really enjoyed himself!

 

Not only did Matteo take 5 lessons  - but Daddy and Matteo enjoyed endless (or so it seemed every Tue or Thur) free skating lessons.  Hard work pays off.

We then came home, rested a bit and late in the day were off to celebrate Cousin Rocco's 7th Birthday!  

The celebration was at my old stomping ground, a restaurant I used to bus tables at and a Dear Friend of mine still works there part-time.  Can you tell Matteo was colored happy at seeing her?  (He often tells me she is his favorite person in the whole world).

 Matteo was also delighted to see his Cousin Rocco - whom I don't think we have seen in quite some time.

And the rest of the night was full of great laughs and fun times...perhaps a little too much fun ;-)

Cheers.
