Happy Birthday, Monkeys!

I know, I know... it's been a long time since we posted.  Well, what can I say except we have two fantastic children that are so full of life, we are enjoying every minute of it!  But slacking on our blog- sorry :\  We will try to be better, promise!


The day of their birthday was a Friday- Tim took the day off to get the house party-ready and to put together the kids birthday present...(I wanted to take the day off to play with them, but I had a big meeting for work:(  We woke them up singing "Happy to You!" (their version of the happy birthday song) and got lots of sweet kisses.

don't they look SO BIG?!?  How did we get here so fast?

we surprised them by hanging this birthday banner the night before.  

They loved the "Ah-ahs" (that's what they call monkeys)

After we picked them up from the babysitters, we played outside and then showed them their birthday present from Daddy and Mommy- it's a Slide- WEEE!

they climbed right on, like pros!

After we had a dinner of their favorites- hotdogs and peas for Kennedy and fish sticks for Graham, we took them to Orange Leaf for ice cream!  They were crazy, running up to people and being very social- they must have been very excited about their birthday :)  

After ice cream we threw them into the bathtub, and then they got to open more presents.  Our house guest, MC got them some outfits he picked out himself, and he was excited for them to open his gifts!  

All in all, it was a great birthday- we can't believe they are TWO!!  We'll have to dedicate a whole new post to their birthday party- it was a zoo!
