Birthdays: Alex (2) & Dannie (4)

Posted on November 18, 2016February 1, 2017 by Andi

Alex and Dannie had a Curious George birthday party again this year. I am not sure how I convinced Dannie to have another one, but it turned out great. It was so nice to be home for their birthday, although their birthday in Seattle will always be so special to me because I got to spend it with our friends there before we moved back.

My amazing friend and neighbor who owns Ganser’s Goodies made the cupcakes for the party. I told her what Dannie wanted and then I popped in the cupcake toppers. They were delicious and a huge hit!

I can never get these two to look at the camera at the same time, but I really wanted a picture of them in their Curious George shirts I found for them. This was the best I could do.

We had family and some friends come celebrate with us. We played, opened presents, ate and socialized. I think this might be the last family/friends party we do. It’s starting to get too big with all our family and the kids are going to want more friends at their parties soon. But it was so fun to have everyone over to celebrate these two monkeys.

Alex really got the hang of presents this year. He LOVED opening presents and tried to get some of his sister’s opened, too. We just did gifts from guests at the party and opened ones from us on each of their actual birthdays.

When we went to light the candles, I didn’t take off the cupcake topper and it started on fire. There’s a couple funny pictures of me when I realized what had happened and this was the funniest picture of me.

My babies are very quickly becoming not babies anymore. I’m sad and also really excited about this. They are all so sweet to each other and love each other to pieces. I love that they are friends and can’t wait to see what kind of people these kids will grow up to be.

Happy birthdays my sweet little monkeys. We love you!

This had been on my list for a long time and I kep This had been on my list for a long time and I kept pushing it back because I wasnโ€™t in the mood. It was a relatively short listen (which I listened to on a recent car/day trip. I wasnโ€™t sure if it was going to translate well, but it was really good. The premise is you can travel to another time, but you must return โ€œbefore the coffee gets coldโ€. It had some wonderful โ€œrulesโ€ that had to be followed and made you think about when in time you might travel back to.

This book has others in the series and it is definitely worth a read or listen if youโ€™ve ever thought about time travel and what you might do differently.

If youโ€™ve been around a while, you probably know If youโ€™ve been around a while, you probably know I like STEM books. Iโ€™m also a sucker for robots. I got this one for my space-loving daughter because she loves Mars. This was based on rovers that went to mars. I loved that it was geared toward kids, but had facts and stuff mixed in. I loved that they gave the rover (Res) feelings and a personality. The main programmer of Res was a female as well. It was a wonderful book and so well done. Iโ€™m excited to recommend this to people or give it as a gift!
