The Ranalli Family: May 2011

Geesh, can't believe it is already May. April passed by so quickly!! We had a month that was TOO busy! Chris' 40th birthday came and went, Easter, our 5 year wedding anniversary, we moved!! On top of it all, we had the wonderful company of my cousin Cortney, who was doing her final college internship at the hosptital I gave birth to Chrisitian at. Pictures of Cortney's visit and our new house to follow!

Let's start with Chris' birthday. Can you believe my wonderful, hot, funny, caring, romantic husband is 40?!?!

Had to make my honey's favorite cake, pineapple upside down!

To highlight a few...

hehehehehe!

In addition to Chris' momentous birthday we also celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. Obviously, we have been simply blessed within those years, having our beautiful two boys. But, it has also been a very busy time. I'm almost embarrassed to say that in our 5 years of marriage we have lived in 4 different states. CA, NH, NY(NJ), WA. Of course, most of our time before marriage was spent in California and most of our married life spent in New Hampshire. Although, we have now already been in Washington for 15 months!! I feel like, we can conquer the world together! Truly, my best friend! Chris suprised me with an overnight spa/dinner date at the Salish Lodge, known for it's location perched on a beautiful waterfall. We had a great time and we were so grateful my cousin was there to watch the kids.

Here is a picture Chris took from his cell phone of us out front of the falls.

Easter was pretty mellow this year. It rained in the morning, but the sun came out after nap time, just in time for the egg hunt in the back yard!

Perfect rainy Easter morning activity...decorate easter popcorn balls courtesy of my Aunt Jeanne. Nicholas really gets into these! I think it's funny that he wore his Christmas pjs on Easter!
