Happy 3rd Birthday, Alexander!

Today is our little guys 3rd birthday!  We were supposed to have his birthday party today, but unfortunately the threat of thunderstorms made us cancel and reschedule for tomorrow.  So instead, we had a low key morning at home and then went over to Baba and Dziadzi's to celebrate since we had lost power!

Drink of milk from Daddy's cup for the birthday boy!

Birthday playtime

Checking it all out

 

Chloe was quite excited it was her brother's birthday!

Lucky little boy needed some shuteye before the birthday celebration 

began because...

He was transformed into a STORMTROOPER!!! 

I'm pretty sure Daddy is jealous of his present from Baba and Dziadzi! 

He even got the matching talking Stormtrooper character!

AJ was loving the Star Wars love!

Pew, pew, pew!   

 

Uh-oh, watch out for Mommy Stormtrooper!

Yummy ice cream cake!

Hugs.  

Happy Birthday dear AJ.....

Happy birthday to you!  Time to make a wish!!

Enjoying the yumminess!

I think Katie liked it despite the long face.

Trying to be like his cousin...

'Mommy, is my tongue green?!'

Such a happy little boy! 

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Since Father's Day and Michael's birthday fell on the same day, we didn't have a separate celebration for just Michael.  Instead, we went out with our families to Toyo in Colchester for some yummy hibachi!  Michael even got to use his new light-up chopsticks - he was psyched!

Someone was a bit excited about his new chopsticks!

Minnie Mouse showed up to the party! 

Our little ham

The chefs/workers made the kiddos fun balloons.  AJ got a monkey!

He was super excited about it, but refused to look at the camera - so this is what I got!

New Britain Rock Cats

From Worcester, MA to New Britain, CT we headed for a New Britain Rock Cats baseball game.  We got the tickets through a fundraiser from Katie and Allie's school so it was fun and family friendly event.  We met up with Baba and Dziadzi and the Radachy clan once we got there and a good time was had by all!  

Chloe's first baseball game!

She was having a good time, despite the temperature dropping a bit.

All of us sitting in a row. 

There wasn't much game watching on AJ and Chloe's part...

These two adore each other.

First attempt at a family selfie picture.

Second attempt wasn't so bad!

Katie wanted in on the picture action...

Two of my little ladies.

Having fun at the game!

Vacation Day 7

On our last full day of vacation we kept it pretty simple.  We made our way to the Disney Marketplace and did some last minute shopping in the morning.  AJ and Mommy rode the Marketplace Train Express together and then Chloe joined us on the Marketplace Carousel.  We then headed to Sweet Tomatoes for one last lunch.  It was then back to relax before Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a nice dinner out at Planet Hollywood and some shopping for the kiddos at the Buena Vista outlets.  Thanks to Babcia and Dziadzi for watching the kiddos for us!  

Hi Daddy and Chloe! 

And we're off!

AJ absolutely loved the train... he waved every time we went around 

and saw Daddy, Chloe, Baba and Dziadzi.  

 

Off to the carousel where Miss Chloe could join us!

Pointing to all the other neat looking horses.

Big Boy riding all by himself!  

 

All smiles!

Super cool Star Wars Stormtrooper crocs Mommy and Daddy bought for AJ

 

Being silly while trying on his new crocs

 

Loving the Star Wars crocs and his new Slly from Monsters Inc. pillow

I think she likes her first Minnie Mouse

My pride and joy

It's always super fun trying to get a picture with these two! 

Somewhat of a successful picture!  Love these kiddos!

Who knows what this little guy was doing?! 

Someone didn't want to look at the camera with Mommy 

This is what I got when I asked him to take a picture for me! 

Family!

Another family shot... look at the sparkle in AJ's eyes! 

I think she was tired after the family photo session!

Our yummy drinks at dinner. 

 

While we were out at dinner, Baba and Dziadzi took the kiddos to the pool one last time.  One our walk home from the pool, I was able to capture this picture of the resort at night. 

Tomorrow we make the journey home.  It's always a very sad day when we have to leave Orlando.
