Today was an insanely busy day. Early this morning, Damien pushed off with Michael, Matthew, and Emily and went to a college friend's son's birthday party in San Francisco. After that, he continued north to attend the January birthday celebration for the Swendsens! Today, we celebrated Sierrah, Heather, and Matthew!
Claire and I had to hang back because I had to coach her basketball game which started at 2:00 p.m. As soon as it was over, we hopped in the car and cruised two hours north to be with the family! They had a wonderful party! First, they all met at a skating rink where they had lunch and skated until their hearts were content. Even E got out and skated which my kids will never forget! Damien said that the kids did pretty well. We'll have to do it again, soon!
Claire and I were able to make it to the restaurant for dinner. We unfortunately missed out on the skating. Dinner was great. We were able to meet Emily Hamric, who is Damien's brother Ben's sister. It was an emotional time meeting her. I know that she will forever be a part of Damien's family!
After dinner, we went back to Teresa's apartment for dessert and gifts. She had created a wonderful candy bar for all the kids to munch on. We had a great time there but had to hustle back down to San Jose because the kids all had school the next day.
Family is wonderful and it is great to take time out to celebrate each and every one's special days! Happy birthday to the January birthdays!
