Two Birthdays in a Week!
Saturday, November 10th, 2007I am officially the mom of a 3 year old and 5 year old. Ciaran and Liam both had their birthdays this past week. We ended up having a family dinner to celebrate both birthdays. Liam was a little bit disappointed with this as he wanted his own party with “his friends”. Unfortunately there is a new policy at his Kindergarten this year that the kids are not allowed to send birthday party invitations to school. I understand the reasoning around it, but if your child us a bus student you never get a chance to meet their friend’s parents. I’m hoping at the Parent Teacher Conferences, I can introduce myself to a few of them, and possibly set up a play date some weekend.
For their party I decided to do a turkey dinner with all of the fixin’s, since I didn’t get to do one for Thanksgiving. It was great as it gave us lots of leftovers for the next few days, and I even made a pot of turkey stock to freeze for soup bases, and I made a Turkey Shephard’s Pie to freeze. I’ve mentioned making this before on our “What’s for Dinner” Podcast. I really like it, as I’ll pull it our in a few weeks, and it’s just like having turkey Dinner without all the work!
After dinner, each of the boys had their own cakes. They have been eyeing these cakes at our local grocery
store for the past couple of years, they are real icecream cones around them, (well the icecream is actually icing, but the cones are real!) so I decided to surprise them with these:
It was nice to have both sides of our family together, and gave me a chance to start talking to my dad about a planning a trip to Walt Disney World for the March Break! He is hoping to join us with his boys who are a year older and a year younger than Mackenzie. We were going to wait another year, but with our strong dollar we thought we’d take advantage of it! I’ll be sure to share some of our plans here.
As well, over the next few entries, I thought I’d share some of our favorite travel tips and moments over the past 5 years.
Happy Birthday my sweet boys! Here’s a few pics of them over the years! I will add them from my other PC soon!
