Happy Birthday, Marc!

We loved celebrating with Marc for his birthday - gotta love Christmas babies! Angi made a lovely dinner of fondue and we all stuffed ourselves to the brim.

Traditionally, Marc likes to have a marzipan cake for his birthday. It's a real treat every year. This year, we couldn't get a cake from the bakery where it is usually purchased. Pat decided to make a marzipan cake from scratch. This is no small feat. It involves sponge cake, raspberry jelly layer, yellow cake layer, and of course the marzipan topping. It was a lot of work and tasted great. Eric even commented that it was the best one he had ever tasted. Great job, Pat!

Marc reveling in fondue
("smiling on the inside," he said.)

Sam would barely allow Gigi one bite.
He really liked the bread and cheese.

Eric

Great job, Ang!

Niko, Baz, Ollie watching Monsters, Inc.

I love snuggling with these guys...

Baz just loves Niko so much.
I was happy to get some pictures of them together.



Per Marc and Angi's nightly Advent routine,
And read the boys a story and then they opened
the little door on the Advent box and there was
bon bon inside for each boy!

Eric opened a Christmas present with Ollie's help.

That's funny, Uncle Bean!

Marc opened his birthday presents, too, with Bazy's help.

Marc forgave me for not having yet perfected
the chocolate topping. :)

Sam was so funny acting almost "drunk"
with exhaustion all the way home.

Niko didn't make it...

Papa pumped up the music trying to wake up Niko.

Funny Papa... :)
