CATCH UP!!!

OK, so I guess it's time to update my poor neglected blog...Let's do a quick recap of what has happened in the Ciabattari household since November 2009! 

• 
  
  Nathan turned one!  He had his B-day party in Spokane over Thanksgiving weekend.
• 
  
  We decided to put our house on the market.  (It was quite a project de-cluttering)
• 
  
  Olivia turned FIVE and chose "Avatar" as the theme for her party at the Seattle Children's Museum.
• 
  
  We surprised the kids and our niece Emily with a trip to Disneyland.
• 
  
  The kids continue to entertain and annoy each other. (Sometimes at the same time!)
• 
  
  Mary turned 34.
• 
  
  Andre turned 39!
• 
  
  The kids are growing up fast!!
