winter volleyball fun

 Makayla played a winter volleyball league, outside of her school, however the team was all of her friends from school. More playing time and they had a great time! Pep talk before the game, a little pregame cheer and then they were off. They had a great season and did a lot of growing. It will be fun to continue to watch these girls develop.

Kayla's own private cheerleader!! way to go says Gus! oh yeah and he loves to play "so big", and only 5 months old.

Brie is 6

Gabriella turned six on February 3rd! She requested an Ariel birthday and of course her daddy could not let her down. She had a great day at school and then a very special evening celebrating at home and opening a lot of presents.

 A quick group shot and then a few randoms of Gabriellie herself!

 Gus was not sure what to think of all the birthday fun!

 She had a great birthday and loved ending the night with a highly requested pajama gift from pop. She was trying to look all cute!

We did a little belated birthday celebrating while at grandma's with the Godfather. He took her shopping and returned with a new toy and cupcakes! A fun evening for everyone!
