Lincoln's 7th Birthday

Lincoln has such a fun birthday.  I have had  a lot of people tell me that Lincoln will hate having his birthday on Christmas, but it always turns out to be the best day for a party!  I asked Lincoln what he wanted to do for his birthday this year.  He told me he wanted us to go out for a fancy dinner at......Village Inn.   I guess if it is not delivered in a bag then that counts as a fancy dinner. :>)  

We had to have our fancy dinner on the 24th for obvious reasons.  First we went ice skating and had a lot of fun.  Then we headed over to Village Inn where we enjoyed burgers and chicken on a plate.  :>}  Lincoln got a free piece of pie which he saved for later.

We celebrated the rest of his birthday on the evening of the 25th.  We ate a yummy crocodile cake, had a ham, opened presents, and destroyed a pinata.  It was a lot of fun.  Lincoln got a cool nerf gun and a cool planet poster.  

I want to tell Lincoln how much we love him.  Lincoln you are such a sweet and inquisitive little boy.  I think you know more about certain things than I do.  I love that your mind is always turning and thinking.  You have such big ideas for such a young kid.  You have done such a great job at school the past year.  You continue to work hard, whether you are hauling wood or working on school work.  We love you so much!  

Happy Birthday!

Blake's 5th Birthday

 

 

 

My sweet Blake turned 5 in December!  Blake has been looking forward to turning 5 for a long time.  For Blake this meant that big and better things were going to happen for him.  He would now be able to lose teeth and put them under the pillow for a big payday.  He would now be able to go to school like Molli and Lincoln.   He would now be able to read and write like a big kid.  Although these things did not happen overnight like he had hoped he still had a great day and is looking forward to those things happening this year!  :>)

Blake wanted to go to the Fun Park for his birthday party.  We had a lot of fun playing in the Soft play and playing video games.  Blake was very excited about his gifts.  He had been asking for everything under the sun for his birthday.  However, he was very happy with getting the Hot Wheels track!   He was very excited about his cake.  He found reindeer cupcakes in a magazine and he thought it just looked so great.  So I tried my best to replicate the reindeer.  It turned out good enough to eat.  Overall, it was a fun day.

I just want to say to Blake how proud I am of him.  He is everyone's best friend.  I love how easily he can talk to people.  I love how his smiling eyes light up a room.  I love how excited he was for his birthday and how willing he was to share with his siblings for the whole day.  I love all of the notes that you draw for me and everyone that you love.  You are truly a blessing.  You make me smile everyday.  I love you so much!!!  I hope this year is as exciting and fun as you hope it will be.
