Today is Allison’s birthday. We started the day with Church and then Allison and the kids stayed at my parent’s house for some donuts and a visit. I went home to sleep for the afternoon so I could get up early to take Allison and the kids to dinner for her birthday. It was a super rainy day, however, and the kids spent part of the day jumping in puddles int he back yard. This made everyone tired and want to have a PJ day for the rest of the day. So, when I woke up I took care of the weekly trash and then ran out to get some pizza from Eli’s so that we could have an easy night in to celebrate Allison’s birthday. I wish that her present had gotten delivered in time but is hasn’t. So annoyed at that. Today’s vlog is a little different but lots of fun and filled with shenanigans and the kids singing.
Today was Andrew’s fourth birthday. Our sweet and caring little boy is getting older and he was way more into the whole birthday thing. He changed his idea for a theme over and over. It was robots, LEGO, and then pirates. I was in charge of activities for the kids and I found some fun sticker books where the kids could make faces. There were princess, dinosaur and pirate ones. The kids enjoyed playing with those and then all the other toys in the living room. Rescue Bots and the Hess Toy Truck were big hits.
We had my parents, Uncle Mike and Jess, Uncle Nate and Colin, Holly, Rose and Noah and Andrew was so excited for everyone to meet his friend Calin and his mom and dad. Andrew wanted to have Cheez-Its, Sunflower seeds, and Pretzels for everyone to snack on. Then we got some pizza from Eli’s. Andrew was so excited to have everyone over. He was most excited when the cake came out and he got to blow out the candles. Allison made a delicious “marvel” cake and decorated it with a pirate sword and fish candles.
Andrew was also very sweet about opening his gifts. He was very grateful for everything that he received. We should have had a Blaze and the Monster Machines themed birthday because that was the dominant toy that he received. Of course that was what I told everyone he wanted because we watch that show often. It will be fun to play with those toys together. It was a great party and we are so lucky to have such a sweet boy and kind generous family and friends.
