The Traveling Party Box!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!!! (on the 25th...) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN!!!! (on Jan. 29th...I know the blog post is a little late...)

Before I share all the birthday fun-ness, I want to share some exciting news! Matt accepted a job at barnesandnoble.com this week! This is such an exciting thing for him, and us! I'm so proud of him! =)

Well, last year it was a tea party, and this year it was a full out pizza feast! Mom sent a box full of goodies to Zoe to throw a party for her Mom. I was "in the know" on the party too. But Zoe was so good at keeping this a secret, she told me on a walk that "I can't talk to you about that. It's a surprise!" I assured her that Grandma told me too...and then we were cool to talk about it. Haha.

So Matt and I went up to Harlem last Saturday and soon enough we were all hungry...so it was time to reveal the surprise! Mom sent appetizer gluten free pretzels, gluten free crusts, pizza sauce, and party napkins. I brought the cheese, veggies, and dough for us gluten eaters. Everyone was quite excited!


Zoe was all about "decorating" the pizzas. She took it very seriously...and made sure no one was going without any toppings. =)

We thought we didn't have enough pizza for us gluten eaters. So Mike tried speed-defrosting some frozen dough. That...uh...didn't turn out as planned. So why let it go to waste? Mike threw some olive oil on it, and some garlic powder...it wasn't half bad! haha



Woohoo!!! Pizza! Happy birthday Lauren!!! Then it's on to presents!!! Woohoo!!!

Then we all just enjoyed each other's company and goofed off. Maya missed out on the bulk of the party, but she made sure to hang out with us and chill with Uncle Matt some before we left. Mom, I hope these pictures meet your expectations. Thanks for providing us with the traveling party box! =)
