january 18th - happy birthday gem gem

Baby Gemma got round two of birthday festivities today for her actual birthday.  After a long day of partying with all of her friends and cousins yesterday, we spent the day at home playing.  Not by choice...there was a terrible storm in Philadelphia with freezing rain.  All the bridges were closed, accidents all over the place left roads shut down....we stayed inside to preserve life.  We did manage to walk two blocks for breakfast with Gramps and Grandmum.  Hawthorne's finally reopened and Gemma was able to get the experience that we have been missing for the last year.

We spent the day slowly unwrapping Gemma's birthday gifts and playing.  Both of the kids love the new tunnel that Gemma got from Kyle and Lila.  We got to eat cake again, make a mess again, and go straight to the bathtub AGAIN.  Without all of the people around, Alex finally got to show off his pipes and sing Happy Birthday.
