The Last of the Birthdays


Tis the end of birthday the birthday season over here.  With 4 birthdays from Sept 30 to Oct 30 this part of the year can be wild.  Maybe that's why I feel the urge to simplify.

Cayden always has the hardest time waiting for his birthday because both Seth and Gracie have theirs before him.  It is not fair.  Thankfully he had a little better concept of time this year so he was able to handle the waiting a bit better.

He had a grand list of presents, but we narrowed it down to a few good ones.
We had the gang over...and since Cayden shares a birthday with Adam and his bio sister, Brooklyn, we had to have three cakes.
(I didn't make any of them...shh).


The kiddos are all rosy cheek-ed because I made them play OUTSIDE.  
It's a little nippy on October fall evenings.
I almost made them eat outside too.

"My Birthday"



 Then Brooklyn and Adam got to blow out some candles.

Grandma Martha gave him some great puzzles.
That's her favorite gift to give.
I'll have to show her our stack next time she visits so she gets the hint that maybe we have enough sturdy wooden puzzles;)
Love her.


 After the party went home I let the boys open their presents from me.
Did I do good or what?
They had a blast with those Nerf guns and super heroes.
And they even let Seth in on the fun.
