Hunter and I share a birthday week, so we celebrated all week long!
Steve (and the kids) made my breakfast of choice, let me sleep in, and I got some really thoughtful gifts - so the morning was perfect!
Then...the day fell apart (I got hurt at the gym...the car got a flat tire...etc.). But. Then Steve was home from work and the evening was great!
Pistachio dessert for my "cake" - so yummy!
Two days later, it was Hunter's birthday! We had a blast preparing for Hunter to turn 4!
A Paw Patrol birthday. Hunter was surprised to wake up with four balloons at the foot of his bed, each with a Paw Patrol character's name written on them.
What a lucky kid!
Most of Hunter's presents were Paw Patrol toys - he was super thrilled!
And then there was this gem - a Batman costume! Hunter asked Santa for this. Luckily, Santa must have known that Nana and Papa already had this wrapped up for Hunter's birthday!
He loves it so much!
He has worn it every day since. I don't see that changing any time soon.
We invited a few friends to meet up with us at open gym at the gym where Ellie takes gymnastics. Several people came - the kids all ran around having a blast!
Everyone was all over that gym! I never even got a picture of the other kids.
Finally, after Hunter's dinner choice (spaghetti and garlic bread), it was time for cake and ice cream!
The Paw Patrol cake he requested, complete with Rubble on top.
He loved his cake so much! It makes it all worth it when my kids are so thrilled with a cake creation.
So fun to celebrate all week long!
