On April 15th, "tax day", we also celebrate the birthday of Sean Michael Serra. He arrived a full 5 weeks early, suprising us even though he was not due to arrive until May 19th. He was a tiny lil thing-only 4.7 lbs, and his ears were bigger than his body. :) He has since grown into those ears, and he is no longer the tiny peanut he used to be. :)
I still remember coming home with "tiny Sean" from the hospital and the fear when Joe left for work on how I was going to take care of this tiny, helpless little baby. He was really a laid back lil munchkin-and a laid back toddler-the real attitude didn't start until he turned about 5. He can be the sweetest, most perceptive child...but then, there are days...when he is NOT SO SWEET. :)
We celebrated his 11th birthday by going out to dinner at Roy's-where he also chose to go last year. He thinks he's a big shot ordering a "virgin" pina colada and Tiger Shrimp. Jillian joined us this year since she was off work and lives close by. It was a nice time-Leeza had fun too-and we tried to keep her food throwing to a minimum. She really dig the edaname and the garlic mashed potatoes,and the bites of her sisters fish, but her favorite was sharing the warm banana cake with banana gelato with mom. Sean and Jillian shared the Roy's signature "Warm Chocolate Souffle" cake.......yum!
Joe went to the Ray's game and they were giving out a replica of the championship ring the Ray's players all received last year. They were really nice rings..and Joe gave his to Sean for his birthday. Sean is a huge Red Sox fan-and daddy is a Ray's fan. Mommy just goes to the games for the beer. :)
I asked Sean to "look nice" for dinner-and you can see what "looking nice" means to him...a Red Sox Jersey and basketball shorts. Long gone are the days of cute sweater vests and khaki's....
Thank goodness I have Leeza to dress up (for now!!)

What great picture (no surprise). It looks like you all had a fun night. I must say I LOVE the Red Sox jersey.
BTW 11-14 are toughest ages for boys;smelly, zitty, loud mouth, know it all, bags of testosterone. But oh they are sweet after that.
Girls are toughest between 18 mos and 35.
Happy birthday Sean. That cake looked awesome!!
Cute sister shots with the birthday boy. :-)
what a fun family evening - just enjoy because it goes so fast. I wouldn't change a thing about Sean - he is SO the 11 year old boy right now. And it is GREAT!
Happy Birthday Sean!!!
Happy Birthday Sean! What wonderful pictures of the family. You all are a good lookin' bunch!
Happy Birthday Sean!! You are awesome!
Looks like a fun night for everyone and a happy birthday for Sean.
I think Sean is hilarious and sweet! And his red sox shirt looks very acceptable for dinner, it's not a ratty old tee shirt, it's a baseball jersey, so totally acceptable and he looks handsome in it too.
The pictures of Leeza and Sean together are especially cute.
I remember when I use to think I was hot stuff when I got to order a virgin straw daquiri.
Happy belated birthday, Sean! Looks like you had a great time celebrating with your big day with your family.
