Yesterday we celebrated Ari’s 2nd birthday with her and all her friends down at the Hamden Gymboree.  It was so much fun!!  Ok to be honest, Noby had a rough start to the festivities but once we got a little food in him he was good to go.  (I was an awful mom and didn’t even think that the 2 hour car ride ended right at his lunch time, OOPS!!)  Anyway, we were so happy to be able to share in her special day!!!
