Birthday Weekend!

This past weekend was quite a busy one! We had two birthdays and an anniversary packed into it. First, we celebrated Kaya's second birthday on Friday at Chuck E. Cheese and it was great to see the kids let loose and run wild! Kaya actually got a little stuck, either that or she didn't want to come down, in the crawly tubes above us. I had to bribe Emaline with tokens to climb up there and bring her down :-) We chowed down on pizza and super cupcakes that Nana made and danced with a big mouse. The perfect start to any weekend, right?

Then on Saturday, we all wished my Mom a Happy Birthday at Kaya's birthday party! We had a great time at the dinosaur themed bash that Stephani did a great job putting together. All the dino decorations and favors were awesome and the kids really enjoyed it. There was a bouncy house outside (thanks to Christine for always rotating with us!) that Em went nuts in and good Italian fare inside. Stephani made an awesome #2 dino cake and sweet dinosaur cupcakes, so impressed! The kids roared their little hearts out every time someone pretended to be a dinosaur. It was fun to see Kaya get so excited about her special day and open some really great presents! Best of all was a giant sized electronic dinosaur that Steph and Adham found for a steal on the internet! Then Nana & Pepere got her a brand new kitchen to cook us all food in ;-)

Super sweet dino cupcakes!

On Sunday night we finally celebrated Nana's birthday with her on a little family outing to Red Robin for some tasty burgers and shakes. I think we all enjoyed being with her and thankfully, Josh got to spend all weekend with us cause he just happened to be off! I love those weekends. Did I mention that Nana & Pepere's 33rd Anniversary was also on Friday?? What a way to enjoy it, running around with screaming kids! No...they enjoyed every minute of it. Mom & Dad, you really are exceptional parents and grandparents. None of our wonderful family would be here if it weren't for you. We love you!
