Super Hero party

Isaac turns 5 years old this month and had a "super hero" themed birthday party. We have a pretty special connection with a pretty well known super hero named Spiderman. Maybe you have heard of him? He's pretty popular in New York City. We had all the kids come over and first of all decorate their own super hero capes as well as their super hero masks. I did some magic tricks and then Spiderman showed up. He made his grand entrance and then did super hero training where he taught the kids how to roll. Then the kick and then the yell, "Don't mess with the Spidey!". Armed with balloon swords, the bad guys arrived and the kids wreaked havoc on them (thanks Brian, Mike and Brian's friend). The weather couldn't have been better. Be sure to see the video clip at the bottom of the page. Isaac walked away from the party with a pretty nice stash of presents. It was like a Christmas prequel. The joys of having a birthday party so close to the end of the year.

Disney on Ice


A while ago, before our Disney Cruise we got a pretty good deal on Disney on Ice tickets. Being the huge Disney fans that we are and with Brooklyn taking ice skating lessons, we decided to get a few tickets. Tami let Brooklyn and I go on a little daddy-daughter date. It was a blast. Disney sure knows how to put on a show. The best part of the night is that it was a complete surprise until we pulled up to the Energy Solutions Arena. Tami dressed her up in her Snow White Halloween costume, but Brooklyn had no idea why. Needless to say she was super, duper excited and loved every minute of the show. Definitely the highlight of the night was when it was over and Brooklyn threw her arms around me, gave me a big hug and said, "Thanks, Daddy. This was the best night ever."
