happy birthday honey!

So it was Matt’s birthday on Friday & we ended up having a great little dinner party at home.  My in-laws, Mike & Marina arrived on Wednesday.  The kids love picking up grandma & grandpa at the airport.  Then my aunt, Tia Mary, came in on Friday from Uruguay.  So it was a wonderful family affair.  We kicked it off with champagne & it set the mood for a great evening.  My aunt was a trooper considering she had been traveling for about a day, but she stuck it out without any complaints.  I made a yummy sausage pasta dish that Matt really likes.  I used bulk sausage with my red sauce & some fresh mozzarella (some red pepper for a little-very little-kick).  It’s the second time I’ve made it & everyone loved it.  Matt capped off his night with a quick skate on the open ice at Dublin iceland.  Yup, he’s still young at heart.  Good times:
