Birthday Galore

This weekend the kids had two birthdays to go to back to back. The first one was for a friend of Alyssa's so Knox stayed home and napped to get ready for his party that afternoon.

Alyssa's friend Annabelle turned three and was having a princess party. She was so excited to go because it was a dress up party and she loves to dress up right now. I got her a new outfit for the party and she was so excited because it was her favorite color, purple, and from the movie Tangled which she loved.

My friend Michelle did an amazing job with everything and the kids had a great time doing crafts and playing. The cake that she made was a 3d castle. I didn't get a picture of it and Im bummed because it was the most amazing cake I have ever seen. She really out did herself.

After a few hours there we had to leave and get home and change out of the princess clothes and get ready for the next party. This one was for our friend Mike and Sarai. Their son, Noah, turned one and she had his party at the Little Gym. Alyssa was pretty excited to go back there, she hadn't been since her class was over last Spring.

It was a long party for the little ones but everyone had a great time and it was fun to see all the little kids. The kids all got sand toys for a goodie bag, which was great! That just fueled my desire even more to get them to the beach, and I can't wait! Cory was able to go with us, which is good. He misses out on a lot with his schedule because we do so much in the mornings that when he gets to see them do stuff it's great.

The kids were exhausted when we got home around three thirty. That evening was very quiet and relaxing for Cory and I. That is something neither one of us take for granted anymore!
