Splish Splash Birthday Bash

This past weekend we celebrated the kids' birthdays with a pool party! Despite some clouds and a few raindrops, the kids had fun swimming while the weather held out, and a good time eating a picnic dinner and cupcakes while playing inside after the rain came. We were able to use the pool and clubhouse in my parent's neighborhood where our family thoroughly enjoys swimming in the summer. A handful of our little friends and their parents joined us for the afternoon, and we are grateful for their presence in the celebration of our precious kiddos. I had fun planning the party with both Gilby and my mom, which turned out pretty cute, especially considering we didn't even decide to have a party until about 2 weeks before. Some photos from our day...
We continued the celebration the following day by opening family gifts. Neither kid quite understands the concept of their birthday yet, but they sure understand presents! Sydney of course got a couple of new babies, and I now have to read her nightly stories with 5 babies on my lap instead of the usual 2. The one she's holding in our family picture above she calls "yellow baby." I have no idea why. Myles is loving all of his new toys, especially his tool box, and little Toy Story and Sesame Street figurines. For a long while now he has been really into little pretend people and loves to move them from place to place and pretend play with them, so a whole new set of characters was in order.
Happy birthday sweet kiddos! You are loved.
