Spring Break 2026

Spring Break this year was a quiet affair at home! We have lots of plans coming up this summer so instead of doing a trip for Spring Break we decided to stay close to home this year. We just finished the pool so the girls were excited to go swimming and had their friends over for sleepovers. Dad also made pizzas in his brand new pizza oven, YUM!

Cotillion "Graduation"

Allison completed her final cotillion class for 2026 and parents were invited to attend with their student. Each participant received an award for their participation in cotillion and then showed us some of the dances they learned over their time in class. Dad and mom each took turns dancing with Allie Cat and we had a great time. Allison looked beautiful in her dress and we really enjoyed seeing all the things she learned over the course of class. It was a fun evening for us!

Soup Dumplings

We took an online cooking class this weekend that was a gift from our friends, the Ghans. It was all about making soup dumplings. It was such a fun experience and we got 3 different soup dumpling recipes to try. The first one we did with the class was a mushroom dumpling for the vegan/vegetarians. The most challenging part was the "sealing" of the dumpling. The instructor made it look easy but ours were still a little rough looking. Didn't matter, though, they all tasted great!

Allison is 11!!

 Allison celebrated her eleventh birthday this weekend! She wanted to have a dinner at Hardscrabble followed by a sleep over at home with her best friends which is exactly what we did. We reserved a room for her and her friends at HCC where they all ordered their choice of food, selected one of the mocktails that Allison specifically created for the party, and finished off with an ice cream sundae bar. Dad, Mom and Abigail had dinner in the main dining room with Abigail popping in to check on the kids, like a good big sister. After dinner, the girls all piled in dad's car and headed home for a fun skin care routine and movie night in the media room. Our girl had an amazing time and we loved celebrating her! She's growing into such a kind, fun, sweet, funny, and outgoing kid! We're so incredibly proud that she is ours!

Much Love,

Father Daughter Dance

 This weekend was the very last father daughter dance for Moises. It was very much a bittersweet moment especially when remembering all the prior dances he's attended with his beautiful girls. Before the dance, we all had dinner at Hardscrabble. Then they headed to the dance while Abigail and mom headed home for some quality time watching movies. Dad & Allison had a great time and they both looked great at the last dance event. This was just another milestone chapter that Allison will be closing this year!

Much Love,

Cotillion with BB

 Allison continues her cotillion classes each Sunday, but this weekend she had a special guest, BB. It was a special evening honoring grandparents and showing off all the etiquette and dance moves that the students have learned over the last few weeks. Allison was so excited that BB was able to join because BB is still not feeling great but fortunately she felt good today and they had the best time. They also looked great all dressed up!

Much Love,

Valentine's Day

We celebrated Valentines this weekend with lots of special parties! First up was Allison's final class party at CTK. It was a little bittersweet for mom but Allison had a great time. We followed-up with an amazing dinner at Hardscrabble for the four of us. The food was amazing and company were amazing!

For Valentine's Day we all pitched in for a four course meal! Allison made bruschetta, truffle and parmesan French fries, and tomatoes with balsamic drizzle. The main course was courtesy of Dad and Mom and included a beef wellington, bacon wrapped asparagus, and creamy Duchess potatoes. Finally, desert was courtesy of Abigail and was a strawberry, chocolate ganache cake (and cappuccinos for the adults). 

After dinner, we watched movies together on the couch. It was a great Valentine's day with the family.

Much Love,

Moises & Jennifer
