Happy 16th Birthday Noah!

Today is Noah's 16th Birthday!
Earlier this month he celebrated his birthday with Matthew,our cousin,in NH.
Their birthdays are only 10 days apart.The boys had a big pool party,and called it swim 16.
We all had a great time!
Here are pictures of the party,and the chocolate cake we are going to eat tonight(thought I get pictures of it before it was eaten!).

Hope you enjoy!

We are going to put on the truffles later
This what the cake looked like in the book
This is how ours turned out!

New Years Day

On New Years Day we went to our friend's,Ruth and Lois's house in Port Henry,NY.
The Longinos,Demerys ,and McLaughlins were also there.
We had a wonderful meal and then played games all afternoon.
We also ice skated and played hockey on their homemade ice rink.
In all we had a great time with lots of friends!
Here are some snapshots of our hockey game.
P.S. THANK YOU to Ashley Longino for the pictures!
The haze you see is from the cold weather,it was in the single digits!
