Liam's 6th Birthday

Shortly after Philip's birthday, we always head over to Lisa & Jeremy's place to celebrate Liam's birthday. Philip and Liam are such great friends, and, being only a week apart, it's not hard to see why.  Lisa decided to celebrate Liam's birthday and Easter with their family at the same time this year (just like we did!) so he had his party earlier this year too (Philip's actual birthday is on the 18th and Liam's is on the 25th).  Happy 6th birthday, Liam, and Happy Easter everyone! :)

Philip's 6th Birthday - Family

True to form, we had a second birthday party for Philip a week later with the family.  For the past five years, I always wished we could have one big party for everyone but our house is just way too small for that and I'm sure Philip likes being spoiled rotten twice anyway... haha.  The theme was Star Wars yet again because it's what Philip wanted and it saved us from having to take all the decorations down. :)  He had a blast again with his cousins and loved all the generous gifts and donations, especially the Lego sets.  Thanks everyone for the awesome gifts and donations, and for celebrating Sith Lord Philip's 6th birthday with us.  Next year I might just have my wish of one massive party for both our kids since their birthdays will be only two days apart.  I'm excited just thinking about it, and, knowing me, I'll be planning for it all year! :)

Philip's 6th Birthday - Friends

Paul and I decided to have Philip's birthday parties really early since my due date was too close to his actual birthday.  The theme this year was Star Wars since he's become such a huge Star Wars fan, particularly the Lego Star Wars series.  He's watched most of the episodes so far and is always having discussions with Paul about the characters and scenes.  He loved all the decorations and toys, but his favourite was still the Easter egg hunt (which was mine too... I love that Easter always falls so close to his birthday!) because he helped me fill all the eggs and then enjoyed the hunt with his friends. Thanks everyone for your generous donations and Happy 6th Birthday to our Jedi Master Philip who is going to be a big brother very soon! :)

Naia's 6th Birthday

Naia turned six and we headed to her place to celebrate it with her!  It was a fun event filled with lots of "Creative Critters" to see and pet!  The kids had a great time and the adults even enjoyed the critters too.  Happy 6th birthday, Naia! :)

A Necklace Robot

Philip is one of the most artistic and creative boys I know (and I'm not being biased here, I promise!).  I have no idea where this creativity comes from though since I don't have a single artistic bone in my body and neither does Paul.  Check out his latest creation with some "Mardi Gras" necklaces.  Neat, eh? :)

 

March Break '12

During March Break, we spent a relaxing day Liam and Anna's house.  There, we just let the kids play while Lisa and I caught up.  Other than that, I can honestly say I didn't do much else during the break because I was just so tired.  I know I'll have to get used to being tired though because in just a little over a month I'll be utterly exhausted with the little one!  It's exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time... I'm eagerly counting down the days... :)
