A little out of order but want to catch up to our family blog. And I really need to post so I don't end up forgetting any details.
This weekend we celebrated two special birthdays: Eli who turned 4 on 6/29 and J's who turned 36 on 7/5. Since they are only 6 days apart, I wanted to celebrate all together! We had a Cars piñata, cake, kid approved food, presents, and goody bags. Elijah could NOT stop talking about his birthday party for days! He was so excited looking forward to it. He'd constantly ask me if he was going to have a cake, cupcakes, balloons, and presents? Lol When daddy got home with the balloons, he lost it!! In a 4 year olds mind it was now party time!
Definitely not easy cleaning the home, setting up party decor, grocery shopping, prepping food and drinks, picking up cake and balloons with 5 little monkeys! But we did it again. I ask myself during the rush, "is it worth it?" But when I see my kid's excitement filled little faces as they blow out the candles or brace themselves to open their presents or get ready to take the first swing at their piñata. . . I think, yeah it was worth every minute! Something about celebrating all my kid's birthdays here at home makes it special. One day they'll look at their home as a safe loving place with so many memories. Here are some of my favorite moments:
