Happy Birthday To You~

Alex and Ayrie with their share.

Friday was Sean's 3rd birthday. One of this favorite songs is the birthday song and he likes to pretend his play blocks are birthday cake and candles, so it was surreal to him that it is THE DAY for Sean. The celebration started in the afternoon with the party at the daycare with the Lightning McQueen cake and continued on to dinner at Red Robin where they sing birthday song and serve free ice cream. A little boy at the table next door had his birthday dinner as well. Sean was happy, smiling and excited to see the show, however when they came over to sing for him, he was a little freaked out. He was wide-eyed and frozen, but proud to say did not cry! But he refused to eat the ice cream, so I ended up eating it!

We had a combined birthday party for our February born kids on Saturday. We had good friends over and had a good time. I served lunch but it was stress free and easy. I took a day off on Friday so most of the prep work was done the day before. I was able to sit with friends and chat while kids played together. Our Nanny Amy also came with her boyfriend and she was very helpful caring for the babies. You should have seen Sean's face when we sang him Happy Birthday song and brought out a big chocolate cake with three candles on it. It is hard to describe but all I can say is that he was very happy. Noah and Alyson got their own cake as well and did not hesitate to make a mess with it.

I would say that Sean had a really nice birthday this year. Since his 2 year birthday wasn't so eventful since we just had the twins, so I wanted to make it up for him. I can only imagine that for many years to come, we'll have many special fun gatherings for all of our kids. Having four kids, there will be a lot of parties but, that adds more color and tons of happy memories to think back in the future!
