Birthdays

Because I have been a terrible blogger, I have not posted about either child's birthday. Yes, I know, one was months ago. Guilty as charged.



Aubrey turned 2 in fabulous fashion. We celebrated here at the house and had the whole family here. Kids ran amok in the backyard, grown-ups chatted, cake was eaten and presents were opened. The next day was Mother's Day and it was a nice time to reflect upon really how special it is to be a mom.














Evan turned 4 and had a Buzz Lightyear party. All he wanted were Buzz hats and a Buzz balloon. Ah, simple requests. He too had a backyard party with family. I cannot believe that he is 4. More on that later. He wore new Buzz jammies to bed and took a few new favorite toys up with him too.












As for our vacation, we went for 3.5 days with some friends to a cabin in the woods. Can I say, if you have never spent 3 days with 5 two year olds, you really should try it! Chaos, yes, at times. Priceless memories of total cuteness, absolutely! We really had a wonderful time and all of the moms loved having time to hang out, chat, cook, talk about motherhood and the changes it brings in all areas of life, and to have few good drinks! The weather wasn't the best, but other than that, a super trip!
