These past 10 days have been a busy time at our household.  Beginning on the 17th my hubby and I celebrated our 12th anniversary.  We were able to go to a wedding the day before and witness the joining of two young lives.  What a fitting and inspirational gift it was to be reminded of how and why myself and my beloved first got together.  It was great to have a night out  and get dressed up (after lots of 'baby time' at home :)

Following this occasion was the 5th birthday of our first daughter on the 23rd. We had time with family and then her first birthday party the next day.  'Strawberry Shortcake' was the theme and my great husband made and decorated the cake (that looked like a strawberry) and did the strawberry type games. Isn't he the best?  Today was my second son's 8th b-day and he was able to get out of school by doubling up on a different day.  So much celebration in such a short time!  Now I get a 'break' till July when our first son's birthday is on the 15th and our second daughter's birthday is on the 17th.  Apparently these are not only the best two months for birthdays but also the best  two WEEKS for four birthdays!!!!!!!
