So many ways to celebrate....

Well with 2 birthdays book-ending our spring break, we have had no shortage of celebrating (and a fridge full of leftover cake to show for it).  Here's a re-cap of some of the fun....

Where to start.... celebrating both kiddos with Grandma & Tata....

 And again with Emma's buddies at one of her favorite spots, Peter Piper.....

Getting some love from good friend Autumn

 And a little homespun bash with just the neighbor kids (OK "just" our little loop of the neighborhood ends up being about 15 kids all ages 5-9. Everyone plays outside so much they all know each other, so it's all kinds of craziness when you get them all in one spot :).

Flash backs to my childhood parties with the cotton ball game

The neighbor party fell on St. Patrick's Day so we decided to go green of course.... enjoying a lunch of all-green foods including (by popular demand) green eggs & ham, apples, grapes, and lime jello.  What a combo!

Part of my planning committee

 Later in spring break.... taking full advantage of those b-day freebies, this time at Red Robin...

Wonder why only one sundae came with a cherry?  Any ideas Emma?

 And later on Aidan's actual day - good times just us 4:

Thrilled to get his own "real" Bible

Loving the "foot" from Great-Grandpa

Carrying on the Birthday Candle tradition

MORE birthday?  Is it possible??  Just when you thought this post couldn't get any longer.... turns out there are more balloons and sweet treats to go.  I have seriously gained 10 pounds this month.

Aidan's last celebration, this time with school friends.....

Getting sung to with the b-day crown & all-important treasure box pick

And after school - fun celebration at the park.  Love these kids!!

Makes it so special that his teacher took time to come :).

Time to go grab a leftover cupcake... so thankful for my 2 healthy, growing, full-of-life kids... God has really given us so much to celebrate!!
More new stuff is below :).
