This afternoon this little guy was waiting in the trees outside Mama's bedroom. It's been a while since we've seen our sign of Grandma and we were so happy to be reminded of her!

                                     

                                       

Later Daddy and Mama went to dinner with their good friends Darren and Sang and I got to have Tobias over for a sleepover!

                                      

And in the morning we had a very fancy breakfast with orange juice in crystal glasses!

                                       

Then it was time for our basketball game at St. Ann's in DC. We were ready to kick some butt!

                                       

Sadly Jax's team was way overshadowed by the other team who's players were all a year older and a head taller than all of them!! There was no score for the majority of the game!

   

   

Finally Jax went on a little run and made all of the shots and free throws to get us on the board. Thankfully Tobias made a shot or two and another kid on the team made a shot.

   

   

   

 

We still lost by like 20+ points but we played a good game and I scored a bunch..

After the game we all went to the Pub for dinner. It was so yummy. We got their special Smash Burgers! And wings! And Stephen got to come with us!

 

   

Later Gus came over for a sleepover. We had fun playing poker!

   

And then we all had a blast running around the house and playing together!

                                      

                                      

                                        

We had lots of laughs and may or may not have gotten Daddy and Mama's bathroom all wet...

                                      

                                      

And while we slept something magical happened....

                                       

Tonight Mama had some of her girlfriends over for a pre-party to her friend Miss Julie's surprise birthday party!

                                      

                                        

 They had some yummy snacks and drinks...

                                   

And Mama made some fun Birthday Cake shooters for the ladies to have!

   

   

Then she and Daddy headed to the party. They all had a fun night and thankfully they got home pretty early so they could hang out with us too!

                                       

   

   

 

Tonight we had a beautiful, fabulous take on Niçoise salad! It was so yummy!! 

 

   

Then Finn got to work making brownies in his "all edges pan" that he got for Christmas!

                                      

It was fun making the brownies and getting them all into the fun pan!

                                      

                                      

And the pan did not disappoint! They came out perfect and they tasted even better! I can't wait to use this pan all the time!

                                        

                                       

And then we took a picture of Daddy with his Fantasy Football trophy! So silly but also super cool!

                                      

 Today is Daddy's Birthday and we celebrated at Taco Bamba in DC!!

                                     

                                     

                                      

   

Dinner was scrumptious!!! Everything was so so tasty! And we enjoyed sharing lots of goodies!

   

   

Daddy's friend Russ and his family also joined us for some dinner and drinks!

   

                                      

                                      

It was an adventure getting here but once we did we had a great time and a great meal and had fun celebrating daddy! Happy Birthday!

   

 

 Well, as bummed as we were to leave the beach and head home and back to school and activities and the end of our winter break, we were happy to see friends and have fencing and basketball. My buddy Alex had a super fun birthday party at this house where we got to have smash burgers for dinner and cake and we got to play video games and stay up until 3am!!!

 

   

   

I got to get back into fencing with my buddy Conall and it felt good to get back to the gym!

   

   

And Mama let us try Grandma's Waffles and Ice Cream right by the fencing school!

                                      

It did't disappoint!

   

And basketball was back in action. Thankfully I have a good team and we dominate. But we also have a lot of fun. I got to play almost this entire game! It was fun!

   

                                        

   

                                       

We also got to have friends over and enjoy being home and hanging out! The Coll's came to hang with us and we sure were happy to see them and spend some time together! It's bitter sweet but we are glad to be home!
