Party Week

 Birthday week was a success! Here's to two awesome kids, a fantastic marriage, and a Champion Nin.
Elsie's big day got jump-started by picking up Dani's brother Justin at the Reagan Airport. We cruised around the White House and mall, and then grabbed pizza at Matchbox Pizza (note: next time you're there, when asking "Do you guys do anything for kids' birthdays?", the response "Yep! I'll take care of it" actually means "Sure-- I'll bring out some cake and ice cream- with an extra bowl for each kid-- and charge you full price for everything" haha). Elsie loved her books and dresses and baby doll she got. She got right into her cake and showed off her newly found walking skills for us.
On our Anniversary, Nin watched the kids while Dani and I went to Annapolis for dinner at Reynold's Tavern, which has been around long enough to serve Ben Franklin. 
Liam's birthday party, by his request, was a surprise party, only it was a reverse surprise party where his guests didn't know they were coming to a birthday party. His uncle made a killer dragon pinata, everyone dressed up as monsters, princesses, or superheroes, there was water balloon throwing, and a dragon cake. 
We'll fill in more details later, but I know everyone just wants videos anyway. Happy Birthday Week!

I can't decide which I love more, Dani's rendition of the story of Spiderman or Elsie's mad walking skills. Happy Mother's Day/ Birthday Liam!
