Since I last wrote, we celebrated a few birthdays! (I LOVE birthdays!)

Ellie Kate turned 7 this year.

We celebrated gymnastics-style with her friends this year:

 She woke up to her birthday breakfast of choice: A stack of 10 pancakes, blueberry muffin, and Fanta....and powdered donuts....rest assured, she ate a few nibbles and was done, but rules are rules! Once a year we get whatever we want for breakfast-

 She got the skateboard she's been wanting for so long.....

 Daddy's tradition- how much did you grow this year?

 Build-a-bear fun!

Caleb Daniel is 9! Almost double digits!

Birthday breakfast: pancakes with beef sticks

He celebrated with a BBQ at our house, then headed to the TBones game with friends-

We celebrated with family, too. Nothing better than lots of cake and cousin time!!

 And we ended up with a baby in a bag!

Daniel's birthday was earlier this month, too.  Per tradition, we had his favorite pie-

And woke up EXTRA early (kids didn't want him to miss a minute of his special day...haha).  There were also lots of homemade cards, covered in his favorite thing : glitter.

It is a blessing and a privilege to get to celebrate one more year with three of my favorites! And next up, Williams birthday!
