TEN.  DOUBLE DIGITS.  Its hard to believe, but Luke and Liam turned 10 last week!  Since they had to go to school and hockey practice on their birthday, we celebrated over several days.  We had a quick dinner on their birthday at a local taco place we all love before we headed over to hockey practice.  Over the weekend, we went to a new restaurant near the Lakes that was really fun and and had great food with about 50 different types of milkshakes and malts to pick from so the boys were sold.

On Martin Luther King holiday, we had a winter birthday party to celebrate Aiden's birthday on Jan. 2 and Luke and Liam's birthday on January 11th.  After much discussion, we opted to do a party very similar to last year.  We went sledding, ice skating, and roasted marshmallows and warmed up with hot chocolate  Despite the brutally cold temperatures, the boys seemed to have a blast.  None of them complained about the cold weather even though John and I slept in sweatpants after the party since we were still trying to warm up.  I am not kidding....It was so cold, in fact, that the marshmallows were starting to freeze before we could get them on the sticks to roast!   Yikes.

Thankfully, a good friend of mine offered to watch Finn so he had a super fun day on his own doing gymnastics and playing at a friend's house.  He really didn't miss anything and the cold weather would have been rough for him since he takes his gloves and hat off every couple of minutes.

It was a great week celebrating Luke, Liam, and cousin Calvin's birthdays and their big milestone of 10 years!  Now....no birthdays for us until July.
