Christmas Begins!

Today Orin received his first Christmas present:

a vest, shirt, pants, and Duplo camping set from Auntie Katie!

Orin loved his present and immediately put on the whole outfit

and if I had been thinking enough to get some of his legs

in this picture of him running around, 

you would have been able to see the pants too.

Thanks Aunt Katie!

Soccer Camp

Today Orin went to his second day of soccer camp.

Needless to say, he is in love.

Happy Birthday Casey!

Tonight we went out for sushi (Casey's favorite)

Orin decided that he wanted to come with us

even though we told him that it might not be too much fun for kids.

Because he was there, I mistakenly ordered noodles

figuring that they were kid-friendly.

Casey ordered a sample plate of sushi 

and his ended up coming out before mine.

Instead of waiting for the noodles, Orin insisted on trying

everything on Case's plate including 6 pieces of raw fish,

roe, and a California roll.

I couldn't believe it.

Like father, like son.

Happy birthday Casey!

Birthday / Work party

Tonight we went to Casey's holiday work party /

 surprise birthday party.

Casey had no idea that his friends

had arranged for a cake and was totally surprised 

when the room went dark and we all started singing

"happy birthday" at the top of our lungs.

It was a great night.

Happy days!
