Summer Birthdays

During my blogging hiatus this summer I missed documenting two very important birthdays for two of my favorite little people.

Sydney turned 3 on July 21. For months she had been telling us, "My birthday is on Sunday." Lo and behold, it actually did fall on a Sunday. We were lucky that Aunt Siri and cousin Raum were in town for the celebration. We all headed to the zoo for a very hot afternoon and then home for dinner, present opening, and cake. Sydney's only request for her birthday was a pink and purple cake. Gilby made a pink and purple layered cake with pink frosting and purple sprinkles. Sydney thought it was amazing.

Myles turned 5 just ten days later on July 31. Uncle Danny and Aunt Nel were in town and came to spend the day with us. Later, Grandma and Grandpa joined for dinner, presents, and cake, and we were able to Skype with Grandma Gilbert for present opening. Myles still loves Spiderman and had a very fun Spidey cake decorated by Aunt Nel.

Our "big kids" are growing so quickly!
