More Birthday Adventures

Despite already celebrating their birthday TWICE, Colin and Gillian had STILL more fun ahead during their birthday week.

Tuesday was Gillian's day to bring birthday snack to her class at school. She also got to bring an item for show and tell, like all the snack bringers do. I got a quick picture of her with her doll, Louise, who was going for show and tell, her dog, Marshmallow, who was staying in the car, and the snack bag before school.

She came home with a lovely jeweled crown from Mrs. Koehler and said all her friends liked the ice cream cups and Teddy Grahams she had taken for snack.

Wednesday was FOR REAL BIRTHDAY day! Colin leaped out of bed that morning and asked if he had grown. They were both thrilled to be FOUR! I made them get more pictures. They love me.

BIRTHDAY BOY!! The big four year old!



BIRTHDAY GIRL! So happy to be FOUR!



Dynamic Duo.


Colin had requested to go back to the See Saw Center for their REAL birthday, so off we went.




(Given the book of songs, I could JUST pick out happy birthday on the piano.)

Miss Thelma was so happy to see C&G on their birthday. She is just the nicest lady.


After some good play time, we headed down the road to meet Daddy for lunch at Mr. Hoagie.



Daddy's work-buddy, Uncle Al, had sent along some money for the kiddos to get a sundae as a birthday treat. What a nice Uncle Al. Colin especially enjoyed this treat!


We had a relaxing afternoon at home and I made the requested "Breakfast for Supper." Pancakes (waffles for Colin), bacon, and fruit salad. And then we opened presents from Mommy and Daddy. Sorry these are dark and the living room was trashed.


SKELETON PAJAMAS! Woo hoo! He wore them to bed that night. He's in to skeletons.


Piggy banks for both of them.



Gillian got a pack n' play bed for her Louise.


Colin got his first set of real Legos! Gillian informed us, "LEGOS! Just what you have been dreaming of!"


I think they liked their gifts.




So, Thursday was Colin's turn to be Birthday Boy at school. He chose his favorite train, Noisy Thomas, to take with him. He also took ice cream and Teddy Grahams. But we were running late and I didn't get a picture of him before school. I did get one at lunch after school. He STILL hadn't taken his crown off.

That picture cracks me up. He thought he was hot stuff!

So, Colin and Gillian thoroughly enjoyed their birthday DAYS. Such celebrating! And they still had one more party in store!
