Celebrating Birthdays

On Saturday I had two birthday celebrations to go to... The first one took me to Colorado Springs where we celebrated the Twins 6th Birthday. The theme for the party was Strawberry Shortcake. One of the fun activities was the kids preparing their own Strawberry Shortcake Dessert. The kids had a blast! Then from there I went straight to Normando's 32nd Birthday get together. Some of his High School buddies were there. It was nice to see them all. Instead of having a birthday cake Jamie made some really good chocolate cupcakes with strawberries on top... Normando's favorite!
For his Birthday gift Jamie and I went in on a joint gift for him. He had been wanting a Jay Cutler Bronco Jersey so that's what we gave me. It was so funny because he was like a little kid...he couldn't wait to put it on and had the biggest smile and kept saying "I've been wanting this!!". It's cute to see that he is still my little boy. ;) Te Quiero Mucho Dito!!!

Our Little Helper

Last week we watched Bronwyn while Danny & Tara went out for the evening. I started by taking her to the playroom in the basement so that she could pick whatever toys she wanted to bring upstairs to play with. Once she was upstairs she realized that Mommy & Daddy weren't around so she went to the front door and starting peaking out the side windows.

She had a sad look but that didn't last long because then we starting playing with a Tic Tac Toe game we have. Then all of a sudden she decided that our christmas tree needed more ornaments so she started putting the X's and O's of the game on the tree. We were quite impressed because she was so careful and gentle. Once she had all of the game pieces on the tree Jim & I started to applaud...she got so excited that she started to applaud and celebrate, she even did a little dance. It was so much fun spending time with her.
