Evan's 7th Birthday!

We enjoyed celebrating Evan's 7th birthday today! He is growing up fast. We began the day with a chocolate chip pancake breakfast prepared by dad and then ended the day with a mint chip cake from DQ followed by some cool presents.

In between we went ice skating and enjoyed a great dinner at Giordanno's. We had Kids for Truth at church tonight so we fit that in as well. It has been a great day. Chris took off the entire day from work and Margaret even cancelled her lessons (and took the entire day off from cooking).

We hope that you enjoy the video.

We think of you all often and hope that you have a great week.

Happy Birthday, Steve and Denise!!!

Happy Birthday to both of you from all of us. Apparently we are not very good about sending birthday greetings on time, but we have been thinking of you and hoping that your birthdays were happy!!!! Denise, this is a pretty special year for us, isn't it!?? We have to be sure to really enjoy life in our 30's one more year. Steve, did you have a good birthday? You are catching up to us!
Congratulations!
We love you all!
Love,
Chris and Margaret, Colette, Cody, Ethan and Evan

Rob & Denise,

Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend -- we enjoyed the fellowship with you and the boys. Our kids had a blast. We appreciate so much your hospitality.....all of the good meals, the stay in Alex's bedroom (thanks, Alex!) etc.

We are enjoying a beautiful condo/vista at Wis. Dells' Wilderness Lodge. We got here a little late so the boys only went down a slide twice. We did eat our pizza because of the full kitchen here at the lodge. It has a stove, refrigerator, plates, glasses, etc. It is a great place.

Have a great week, and again, thanks for all of your work putting us up for a couple of days. Tell Sam that we wish him well at his game on Tuesday. By the way, we went past Winona -- it is a long drive!

Thanks again,

Chris & Margaret & kids
