We made three soups (chicken and wild rice, broccoli cheese- Addie's request, and taco soup- Will's favorite) and had rolls, veggies, fruit, chips and salsa, pumpkin cheesecake truffles and of course, cupcakes. Many were hoping for Clay's homemade donuts but there just wasn't enough time this year.Addie usually gets a "friend" party so we decorate for Will's birthday at this party. He went back and forth between a Thomas the Train themed party and his new obsession, Cars. I finally just picked Cars stuff for him.
We only invited aunts, uncles, grandparents, great grandparents and cousins and it was still a lot of people! We were so glad that everyone could make it. The kids loved all the attention. It was nice to visit and chat and we are so glad that our families all get along so well.
After some eating and playing, we finally sang Happy Birthday to the kids and had them blow out their candles. Addie had so many candles on hers, it looked like a bonfire! I love the looks on their faces when they are being sung to...a little embarrassed but so happy.
After cupcakes, they finally got to open their presents. Everyone was so nice to bring them presents...they are such lucky kids to have such loving family!
Will's first present was some die cast Cars and he would have been happy with just those! He couldn't wait for Dad to get them open and had to go play with them before opening the rest of his presents.
Can't leave out Grandpa's awesome wrapping job...
They both got some great toys and all of them have had a ton of playing time by both kids!
Thank you to everyone in both of our families for making it a special day for our kids. We love and appreciate all of you!!
More birthday stuff to come!!!
