The Cruzes haven't fallen off the face of the earth. We just haven't done anything at all interesting in the last couple weeks. That all changed this week with a flurry of birthdays to go with our brief flurry of snow.
Starting off the festivities was the Monday birthday of Mason's stuffed pet Rufi dog. Yaya and the kids were at our house as it was the MLK holiday and were primed for celebration.
They even made a cake. Of course this tasty looking cake manifests during the period that I'm doing the health contest. I'll spare you the details but it involves a lot of exercise, a lot of fruit and veggies, and no sweets.
The kids and the pets played party games...
...and sang and danced to celebrate Rufi's birthday. It may be a birthday for a stuffed dog, but a lot of fun and excitement was had by all.
Saturday was a more legitimate birthday party to celebrate Giada's 4th birthday. As you may recall, we joined Giada last October on our trip to Disney World. Giada's party was at a place called Playdate PDX which is as follows:
Mason had basketball so he couldn't make it but Siena and I went and Siena LOVED playing on the big play structure.
Of course I had to memorialize the moment when Chris spilled the pitcher of water all over the floor. It was a rough weekend for Chris - in addition to the water incident, his Niners lost a tough one last night. We were watching the game at Yaya and Papa Ron's which is why I'm a day late blog posting this week.
Here's the happy birthday girl!
Sunday was the birthday of Siena's special pet, Snowman Snow. She spent the better part of Saturday preparing and wrapping presents for Snowman Snow. All of those came up with us on Sunday for Miss Snow to open. First though, there were cupcakes to be decorated.
The finished product. Here's where I'm going to remind you that due to extreme competitiveness, I can't have any. Cue violins.
The 6 candles are lit (Snowman Snow turned 6) and here's Mason and Siena with Snowman Snow's other friends just before singing.
Opening presents. Siena is super surprised with this one.
Mason made Snowman Snow a snowflake for her birthday. Mason was getting a kick out of the whole thing.
Snowman Snow opened about 20 presents...quite a haul for a little snowgirl's birthday.
After dinner we had to go out to the shop to check out the newly finished paint job on Papa Ron's '67 Firebird. Pictures don't do it justice. It looks amazing!
It's been painted and shined down to the smallest detail.
Dad's got some work to go with the interior but it still looks hot.

Why didn't you tell me it was Rufi and Snowman Snow's birthdays?! Is it because you didn't think I'd care?!! Because that would be a good reason.
