Christmas in July

Well, the weekend was great! We went to Heather's mom's house for the 4th of July and they had a bouncer with a water slide which was a lot of fun. Andrew had a blast. Well, actually before we went to their house we went to Bass Pro Shop and the kids got to paint a bird house and run around and see everything. You can see all of the pictures on my picasa site.

Sunday was Christmas in July around here. Andrew turned 4 and we celebrated with a Christmas theme. He loved Christmas this year and cried when we took down the tree so it was perfect that his birthday fell in July. He got a lot of presents and had awesome cakes. The kids made a photo frame craft, played in the kids' rooms and overall it was a lot of fun. I'm exhausted today after this weekend of crazy. But we are so thankful to celebrate with our closest family and friends. I think Andrew could have had one little boy named David at his party and it would have been complete. Not that he didn't want everyone there but he loves this little guy and I'm going to be so sad when David goes to kinder in August and makes new friends and grows up....hopefully he will still have room in his heart for Andrew. He is almost 2 years older and I hope that for a while at least they will continue to want to "hang out and play cars" as Andrew said this weekend. It is so cute to watch and hear what they say to each other.

The kids making their craft.Andrew's finished frame. Yes, his name is backward, not sure why b/c he usually does it the correct way....very cute though. The cakes. The baker did an awesome job on both cakes. I think I will use Super Target again (oh, and I love the price!!!)

It's over and now I have to pack up all my stuff and get my house clean again. You can go here to see a whole bunch of pictures....I just put up 3 new albums last night-swim lessons, 4th of July, and the birthday party. Enjoy!
