Birthday Celebrations

Well if there's one thing that summer does to me, it certainly gets me behind on my blogging!  I took pictures off the camera today only to find that I had never blogged about the kids' birthday party!  Whoops!  I am hoping to get several catch up posts up this week.

We celebrated each of the kids' birthdays separately on their actual birthday with balloons and streamers to greet them in the morning, a special meal out, and presents from the family.  Between their birthdays we have their party with family friends and family members.  It's a long few weeks, but the kids have an absolute blast and get spoiled rotten.

We decided to give the kids their shared big gift on Brian's birthday so they could enjoy it for more of the summer.  It's safe to say it was a great surprise that they both love and have enjoyed this summer...a trampoline!!  Brian wanted cookies, not a cake for his birthday, but he agreed to have a cake for Lilah.  He wanted to eat at Noodles & Co.  For Lilah's birthday we had strawberry cupcakes made by one of my preschool parents, and cookies that Lilah wanted for Brian.  They are so good to each other!  She wanted to eat at First Watch.








Oh the Snackeez...


The joint birthday party was held at the park like every year.  It RAINED a lot!  But we made the best of it.  The rain held off for the first hour, so the kids all got to play.  We called them in for presents and cake just as the rain started, so everyone was in the shelter while it poured.  Most of the guests cleared out once we finished the presents, but a few of our close friends stuck around to play in the wet shelter.  The kids had a blast running around in the puddles!  That's what so great about kids.  They don't even realize that rain at an outdoor party is a bad thing.  They have fun no matter what! 






Dancing in the rain!



This was apparently hysterical.  Let's show our butts when we are supposed to smile!
