Steven, Sammy and Amaya are NINE. Amazing.
Once again the kids woke up to “9” balloons in their rooms and, once again, their mom (hi!) made them take birthday photos before school in their birthday t-shirts.
For the first time since kindergarten, I was able to go to Thornton Creek to join SSA at the birthday table. (Virtual first grade and they didn’t have the birthday table last year.) It was so nice and I love that the kids were excited to eat their lunch with me.
Amaya’s friend Dylan brought this “Birthday Girl” tiara for her.
Amaya also wanted to eat with her friends (Dylan, specifically) so she spent a little bit of time at the time with us and then headed over to her friends to finish lunch. That’s my girl.
For the third year in a row, we celebrated the kids’ birthday with dinner in an igloo at Deadwood.
The BIG BONUS was that Aunt Sara and Charlie came for their annual birthday visit!
Look at these two girls <3
They have such a good time together whether it’s play games on devices or playing active cops & robbers games around the house.
Sisters!!
A final treat of the day was an amazing birthday cake that Sophia made for the kids. It was a huge hit!
Amaya was thrilled to sleep in the basement with Aunt Sara and Charlie
Saturday was birthday party 3 or 3 – Steven’s! He had a bowling party with 10 other boys and Sara came as my wingwoman to help out.
It was organized chaos
“Yumba” is an inside creation from Steven and Sammy’s friend group lol
Jason took Sammy, Amaya and Charlie to Panera and the mall while we were at the party and they had a blast.
One of the purchases was bath bombs and face masks which they tried out together after dinner
Aunt Sara and Amaya cuddles
We took Sara and Charlie to the airport before Hebrew school. Jason was at work when we got home and Amaya gave me a piece of paper that said, “Stay in your room and relax.” It was so that the kids could plan a special anniversary party for our 12th anniversary which is TODAY. We were blindfolded and led from station to station where the kids performed and gave us some delicious homemade snacks. It was very special.
And that’s it for us this week! It was a big one!
