Seattle

Our friend James who went to college with Chris, moved to Seattle a few years ago to work for Amazon. Not too long moving there he met Katie Jo. They decided to get married and invited us to Seattle to celebrate their wedding.

IMG_9758We arrived on Thursday and after naps and lunch (or whatever meal it was), we went to Wicked! Brendan was so excited (and how cool that the national tour was in Seattle when were were!).

On Friday we went to the Museum of History and Innovation. The kids loved it! We also walked around and saw Pike’s Place.IMG_9805

Then on Saturday we went to the Space Needle and the awesome playground next to the Space Needle. We found out our friend (and Bren’s dance teacher), Rene was in Seattle and got to see her at lunch! Katie Jo’s family hosted a dinner and then we saw a parade!

The wedding was on Sunday and was very nice. The kids enjoyed themselves and it was a great time! They got to see the movie Minions before we left.

It was an awesome long weekend and such a fun time celebrating with friends!

Brendan the altar server

Brendan is following his brother (and father’s)’s footsteps…he’s the newest altar server at Gate of Heaven!

Aidan was to help Brendan but got a bloody nose during Mass. Thankfully others helped Brendan and he did a great job!

(Of course he referred to the altar as a stage, his robe as a costume and did get applause at the end.  And not the hipster glasses and pink Converse high tops)

Book signing

Aidan started (and has since finished a new series) called The Land of Stories. Aidan has loved the books and was very excited to hear Chris Colfer was coming to Boston to sign the newest book in the series.  He used the long line to start reading!
