Baby Birthdays

We made it through! I had been wondering what it would be like planning for two birthdays almost exactly a month apart, but this was the first year and we made it! I never got around to posting Poppy's pictures so I will just do a double post now for them both.

Her birthday was on July 31. We just had a little party at the house with all of the grandparents, (plus Aunt Cara and Uncle Zach.) That's what we did for Ezra too on his first birthday because really, what else can a non-walking one year old do? It was fun and we had a really good time!

I ordered this tutu and had been saving her "1" onesie for a LONG time, but it was totally worth it! She looked so cute!
She got SO many presents and her cake was YUMMY!
Giving some love to her daddy. She is a daddy's girl and a mommy's girl. She is just precious and she has been giving us so much love lately. She will hug us and pat us and say, "ohhhhhh."
Digging in...the girl LOVES cake!
Time for presents! She wasn't really sure about ripping off the paper-something she usually gets told no no for. Luckily Ezra stepped up and did his big brother duty- he was quite the helper :)

Fast forward almost a month later...

Ezra's Birthday was on August 26. I wanted to make it really special since he totally understands for the first time that it is his birthday and that's a big deal. We had planned on getting up really early so that I could make pancakes and we could have a mini party before daddy left for work, BUT... the night before Poppy started getting a cold. She was fine when we put her to bed, but then I had to get up with her several times during the night because she was so congested and was having a hard time sleeping.

The pancake thing didn't work out early in the morning because I was zonked and he ended up sleeping a little bit later anyways. So instead we didn't get around to making pancakes until about 8.

Ezra and his birthday breakfast!

Luckily daddy got to come home at lunch and we let him open a present so he would have something fun to do during the day until his party.

That evening we went with my parents to Chuck E. Cheese.
This train was the highlight of the evening...I think we spent about 40 tokens on this thing. Did I mention he is a little obsessed with trains?
I'm not too sure that daddy didn't pick this racing game out for "Ezra". Either that or Ezra is really good because they were the second top scorer the game ever had. ;) 
(Just get it out of your system before we get on the real road daddy:) )
We rode on the roller coaster simulator.
Then to my parents house for cake, ice cream, and presents!!!!
(He was MUCH more excited than he looks in this picture!)
 I'm THREE!

It was a fun and BUSY day! We were all pooped by the time we got home and we were all up wayyy past our bedtimes.
Luckily, there's a whole year before we do it again!
