Birthday Fun!

I told the twins that they couldn't open their presents until Dad got home from work, to which they replied "But we can't wait that long!" Something that they would say about 100 times each throughout the course of the rest of the day. They had to wait. But when Shane stopped by the house to fill up his water bottle about 8:00 they made a rush for the presents and had them open in about two minutes.

Here's Brook opening the first present.

She was so excited and screamed "It's GIRL STUFF!" (Fake nails and silly bracelets)

Chris got a new puppy (these are the best kind folks). His new name will be "Puppy Boy."

New Puzzles

Chris wanted new "undies" more than anything else he could think of.

What do I want to remember most about Brooklyn's 4th Birthday? This picture right here needs to have a little audio with it. She is whispering to her new unicorns that live in the castle. "Don't be scared, I'm nice." She was being so gentle with them, and placing them in their little windows. It was SO CUTE! Where did I get her from?

We got Chris and Brook new bikes! Chris wanted a Dark Blue bike with Bullseye on it. He had to settle for Buzz and Woody, but he LOVES IT. Brooklyn's has a baby seat on the back for her baby dolls. She also loves it.

Later we had CAKE AND ICE CREAM. I let the kids pick out their own flavor of ice cream. Brooklyn picked out Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Chris picked out Blueberry Pomegranate Chocolate Chunk (ugh). I picked out my favorite Kroger brand Caramel Delight. If you haven't tried it, you should. It's light, and it's delicious.

We got two cakes. What do you do.

We sang Happy Birthday twice and they blew out the candles separately so I was able to get a good picture of each of them this year. I think it was a pretty great birthday party!

The cake masters put brown frosting in the dump truck so that it looked more realistic. I told Chris he could eat it after he blew out the candles. He didn't wait around for this opportunity, he also didn't share with anyone (except for maybe Chels. I'm not sure I got all the details on how that went down.)

So that was the Birthday. We'll do it again next year!

One more thing that I just remembered that I don't want to forget about this birthday. Last night during the party Chris started to go around to all of his guests and he would say "Tell me Happy Birthday." "Suz, tell me happy birthday." "Chels, tell me happy birthday." These guys are the best.
