Mason's Birthday

We celebrated Mason's birthday this month. Cupcakes and frosting everywhere. It was a little cool but it was still nice enough to have the party outside and left the leftovers for the ants. We have five kids turning five this year!Lots of kindergartners this fall! They are all getting so big!

Thursday- Birthday Party

We had a very busy and exciting day. We celebrated Mason's 4th birthday today. Lots of fun and activities. We also played outside in the sunshine (and mud).
Photos of the day:
We started out the morning making birthday cards for Mason with the big kids before they left for school. Later in the morning, we made birthday hats. It is one of our birthday traditions- to make and decorate party hats for each birthday.



For lunch we made our own pizzas. The kids loved playing with the dough, flattening it out and piling on the pizza toppings.


It the afternoon, we sang to Mason and celebrated with cupcakes. The kids enjoyed getting messy!

Thursday- Birthday Boy

We celebrated Myles birthday today. The girls made birthday cards before they left for school and Tate (kindergartner) made one during nap time. I was helping spell it out for Tate and he said "wow, there are a lot of "Y's" in Happy Birthday Myles!" I thought it was a funny observation. The kids loved having cupcakes with Myles and singing to him. Birthday boy's little sister ate 1 whole cupcake and two mini banana muffins- I think she is going through a growth spurt!

We also were talking about getting older and growing bigger. The kids started comparing who was bigger. So we put up a height chart and figured out who was the tallest. It is amazing how close most of them are in height for varying from 5 years old to 3 years old.

The kids also had fun playing dress up. The boys were pirates and the girls princesses, of course.

Busy Thursday

We had a very busy Thursday- celebrating Elizabeth's fourth birthday, music class, and working on our Christmas projects. Next up is Preston's second birthday right after Christmas- we'll have to celebrate after Christmas break!

Here are some fun photos from Elizabeth's birthday.
