I thought I was going to be good and post a picture of each child on their birthday with their cake and all that good stuff. Good intentions will never get you anywhere! I must remember that.
"S" celebrated his birthday in June. His dad was out of town and "S" ended up spending that weekend with his uncle, where he was able to celebrate his very important day with his cousins. Here at home, he had a BIG chocolate chip cookie with frosting on it. We don't have very many pictures of him, so I am posting a recent picture of him with his little brother.
He is a sophomore this year. He lettered in Cross Country (Varsity) and made it to Regional's back in October. Basketball just began and JV games will be starting after Thanksgiving.
"A2" celebrated her 4th birthday in July, and like all 4th birthdays (maybe even mine! I should check with my parents about that one.), we spent the evening with Chuck E. Cheese. We bought a bunch of tokens, split them up and let the children have fun! All tickets won went to A2 and she picked out 10 Laffy Taffy's and a little toy. Her cake is supposed to the castle cake out of the Family Fun magazine, but it didn't quite work out, although she enjoyed it.
I celebrated my birthday in September. The girls really had fun with this one. For days before, they were making birthday cards and wrapping up their favorite toys for me. I believe I opened up at least 100 different cards from them! They decorated with balloons and hats, and made it a very special birthday!
My husband's birthday came about two weeks later in October and sadly, we don't have any pictures from his birthday. Of course, it didn't help that he was out of town on his day! Again, the children went all out and wrapped up their favorite toys and some other very interesting items (plain notebook, a book pulled off the bookcase, etc!) and made him lots of birthday cards. He had an Angel Food cake. Here is a picture of him with baby.
Three weeks later, our youngest son had the most special kind of a birthday! No cake for him!
One week later, "E" turned 9! Since his dad was off work for the baby, they went out together and shopped for a birthday present. After much deliberation, he finally picked a game for his DS. His sisters were excited to give him another Webkinz. His dad was going to make work for his birthday cake with relighting candles, but wouldn't you know it, they never relit themselves!
Less than 2 weeks later, we had yet another birthday! "A3" turned the big 3! We celebrated her birthday the day before due to Wednesday night church. Since she enjoyed her big brother's chocolate cake so much and ate more than the frosting, she had a yummy chocolate cake! It took awhile for her to say she was 3, she kept saying, "No, A2 three, me two". After she understood it was her birthday, she kept singing the "Happy Birthday song" to herself! Just days after her birthday, she started to sadly say, "My birthday all gone!"
Everybody in our family is now a year older and we must wait until January to celebrate another birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
