The Triplets Turned 2...And We Celebrated!

On Friday, July 3rd, we started off the morning with the kids coming down to a fully decorated house. They weren't sure what to make of the decorations at first, but soon they started noticing Elmo and all his Sesame Street friends all over...they were so excited! The kids also go to have their first gift of the day...a kitchen set and table from Mommy and Daddy. They jumped right in and started whipping up breakfast. Since the food they were making wasn't able to be eaten, we headed off for our real breakfast at McDonald's.

We then headed off to a indoor jump/play place called Monkey Joes. The kids had an amazing time and we loved seeing them with such laughter and smiles on their faces!

That night, we had our family over for the first of two birthday parties. It was a great night complete with a yummy dinner, delicious cake, an overwhelming amount of gifts and a wonderful visit with the people we love most. It was easy to see how much these children are loved by seeing how many people gave up a Friday night to come hang out with a bunch of 2 year olds. Also, each gift was so thoughtful and we really appreciated every one's generosity!

Saturday, Happy 4th of July...we celebrated at a neighbors and had a great time!

Sunday, time for party number two! We had many of the kids friends over, including Auntie Steph and her family. In total there were 8 toddlers, 3 teeny weeny babies, and 5 older kids. We had a splash pool, sprinkler ball, sandbox, swing set and jumper set up for hours of fun in the back yard. It was a beautiful day and a great time with friends! The kids again were overwhelmed with all their gifts and Mommy had to open up most of them. They received many cool new toys and activities to keep them busy all winter long. We all enjoyed the home made cake and cupcakes. A great time was had by everyone and we were so happy to be able to celebrate this special occasion with all our friends!
