A few weeks ago we celebrated the boys birthdays with one big party. We had all the family and friends over for a day of playing and eating. The boys love being outside so they were thrilled to have their party in the back yard. We had all sorts of fun including a bounce house, a huge sandbox, a swimming pool and a pinata. The adults also were able to join in the festivities with horseshoes, ladderball and cornhole. Here are a few pictures from the day.
The pull string pinata. Mike thought it wasn't a real pinata unless you hit it with a bat. I thought it would be safer for a kids party! The kids still loved when the candy fell out.
The boys loved opening gifts and would get so excited with everything. Liam loved his bubble mower. He opened it yelled "bubbles!" then looked at me and asked "ME!" When he was told that it was for him he raised his arms up and yelled "yeah!"
I also decided that instead of spending a ton of money on special cakes that I would try to do them myself. Mike and I had a ton of fun planning and decorating the cakes. The boys loved them. I believe we have established a new tradition.
Liam's Elmo Cake
Samuel's Star Wars cake
We ended the evening with a bonfire complete with Smores. Lots of fun!
On each of the boys individual birthdays we also had dinner with my parents, swam and had cake. They also got a few presents that night. For some reason I don't have pictures of Samuel's but here are some of Liam's.
We had lots of fun celebrating the boys birthdays this year. Happy Birthday boys!
