My birthday!

I celebrated my 34th birthday over the weekend. It was one of the best birthday weekends I have ever had! Freddy and I had a perfect date night on Friday night. Freddy arranged for a driver and we were picked up 7:00pm to get the evening started! First, we went to the bar at the Rokerij and then moved over to Coup des Tartes for dinner. It was our first time at Coup des Tartes and it was AMAZING! We both had so much fun spending some alone time together. I love you, Freddy, so very much and just love when we have time to hang out. We have so much fun together....you truly are my best friend! :)

Saturday we headed over to Paula's for a family lunch. The food was great (chicken salad, lots of fruit, and of course wine!!) and so was the company - Jenny, DJ, Dominick, Luca, Paula, Pat, Aunt Rosella and of course Freddy and the girls! The kids swam all afternoon and then we had a delicious birthday cake that Jenny made for me!! Sooo good!!!! :)Afterwards, we headed to my parents house for more yummy food and cake!!! Homemade tacos, carrot cake . . .wow! We were even able to squeeze in some time for Boggle at my parents house! I lost my title though! Freddy is the new "Boggler".....! It was a great day....

Sunday I had a big celebration with my friends!! What an amazing time!!!! My great friend Colleen organized this event and it was just perfect! There were about 18 girls at Postino's ready to help me celebrate!!!! We drank tons of wine, and had lots of time to talk and catch up - it was great to see so many of my good friends there! Afterwards, a few of us girls decided it was a MUST to go see New Kids on the Block!! LOL! I guess that's what happens after too much vino! So, we went to Dodge Theatre, purchased our tickets, and danced the night away!!

I had such a great, perfect weekend. Thank you to all of my friends and family that helped me celebrate the big "34" in such a great way - I love you all! And thank you soooo much to my wonderful husband for making sure that my birthday weekend was nothing less than perfect. I love you! :)

Liliana had a little accident.......

Well, I would have never guessed it, but Liliana is the first out of the three cousins to have a cast put on. I thought for sure it would have been Dominick!!! LOL! She had a little accident after the big Cardinals game on Sunday. Freddy took her to urgent care and they thought her wrist had been fractured. They put a splint on her and a little sling . . .she kept calling it her "purse for her arm." :) I had to follow up with the pediatric orthapedic doctor. We were really hoping that we were overreacting, but no such luck. Lily has a fractured elbow and has to have a cast on for a few weeks. The doctors were so impressed by how well behaved Lily was during the entire visit. Lily didn't make a peep and was so extremely cooperative. Now, if it had been Layla, we would have probably have needed to sedate her to put a cast on! Lily is still as active as ever and is adjusting very well to her new little cast. Layla is taking very good care of her sister and kisses her little cast throughout the day. Layla has been sleeping with Lily lately......so cute. :)

THE HAASE'S CHRISTMAS, 2009

Well, Christmas has come and gone . . .but what a fun time it was!!! Analisa got almost everything she asked for . . .webkinz, Imagine DS games, Sing it for the Wii. Funny thing is she seems to be having most fun with her new sketch pad and colored pencils! :) The twins still didn't quite understand what was going on, but it was so much fun watching them open their gifts. Their favorite gifts were their new baby dolls, a karaoke machine and musical instruments!!! We spent Christmas Eve at Paula's house and were able to enjoy Christmas morning with Paula, Jenny, DJ and Dominick. Dominick got so many cool cars! It was tons of fun hanging out with all the kids Christmas morning. Freddy and I had such a great Christmas with our family this year and look forward to many more memories.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2009!!! Our family is very excited for this new year. We hope to do a little more traveling with the kids, celebrate a few birthday's (Analisa will turn 11 in May and the twins will be 3 in June!!), Freddy and I will celebrate our 4th anniversary in November (hopefully in San Francisco again!!) continue working hard and enjoy our family and friends to the fullest. We will also welcome a new nephew in late April/early May! One more cousin that the girls get to play with!! We STILL need to potty train the twins and hopefully they will begin preschool in August. I know this year will be very, very, busy but it will also be a year full of adventures and good times. We celebrated the New Year with Johnny and Del and the kids . . .what a great time we had!!! Of course I "fell asleep" before midnight, but I was woken up in time to ring in the new year. Here are a few pics from our New Year celebration!! We hope to celebrate again next year with the Carnelia's!!
