Sammy’s Last Day of PreK!

Sammy has graduated from the Busy Bees and we couldn’t be prouder!

One of the songs from his end of year celebration!

First day and last day of school.

We are so proud of all the progress Sammy has made this year ❤️ Look out kindergarten!

Happy Father’s Day 2025

We loved celebrating one of the best dads around!

Sammy made a Father’s Day card at school 😂

Gabby’s new favorite thing to do is to walk to school in the morning. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy morning to do that with her! She loves it!

And thank you for letting Sammy join you at your desk while you work. He loves the “clicky” key board.

We appreciate you always going the extra mile for us ❤️. Happy Father’s Day, Shaun!

Happy Birthday Daddy! (2025)

Daddy’s birthday cake! Gabby picked out the sprinkles 😂. Yes those are unicorns.

Presents!!

Me and the kids had some fun in the snow. Shaun isn’t pictured because he was snow blowing the driveway and helping neighbors too. He always wants to help, even on his birthday. Thanks for being you! Happy birthday Shaun ❤️

Merry Christmas! (2024)

This year we made our way over to Buffalo to celebrate Christmas with family.

Even Mac endured the long car ride!

First stop, Christmas Eve at Nonno and Nonna’s!

Thanks Aunt Julia for setting up a scavenger hunt for the kids!

Open Skate at Canalside!

Shaun taught Leia how to ice skate!

Grammie and Papa pulled out some of Shaun’s old hockey jerseys and Gabby got to take one home 🥰

The kids enjoyed spending time with all their cousins!

Margo always had lots of smiles for Uncle Shaun 😀

Sammy’s Holiday Celebration at School

It was so nice to attend Sam’s holiday celebration in his classroom. He was a bit too nervous to sing in front of all the parents but we were so proud of him for staying with the rest of his classmates through the whole performance!

It was also a great opportunity to see some of the work he’s been doing and found out he was the “Bee of the day”!

His teachers surprised all the kids with a gift too!

Apple Picking 2024

Fun annual trip to Mack Farms for some U-pick apples!!

First stop, the farm market for some apple cider doughnuts to enjoy in our favorite spot.

Had to say “hello” to the sheep on the way out. Shaun named this one “chocolate” 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Let the picking begin! Lots of yummy apples this year!

Sam spent most of the time eating the apples ha!

Poor Gabby trying to eat an apple without front teeth.

Corn Maze time!

See ya next year!
