Year 2 – Week 1 – Day 1 – Happy First Birthday Brendan and Trevor!!!!!!!

Birthday boys!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you might have expected, there are a TON of photos from today. We did not have any big party with other people over, we didn’t really decorate or have any kind of special meal. We just made the boys their birthday cake and had the traditional cake smashing fun. We let them open the couple of presents that they hadn’t already gotten in to.

All three of the boys got their deluxe spa treatment, that is nothing new! Brendan has a cool new singing duck to play with though.

Brendan played with his special Yo Gabba Gabba balloon.

We put all three boys through another photo session, slightly less complicated than the day before. They had to dress up in their coordinating funfetti tie dye shirts!

Cakes are done! They got lemon-lime Jello cakes with cool whip frosting.

We did birthday cake right after lunch today. It is when all of the babies were in the best mood and it gave time for tummies to settle before bed.

Trevor was going to eat the candle first

Brendan wasn’t sure what to make of all the mess!

Trevor loved the mess! He ate way too much cake, and is tossing and turning tonight in bed. He had such a sugar high this afternoon!

Caleb sat at the table and had his own little piece of cake with his big boy fork. He is much more grown up now, no mushing up cake mess!

If the messy pictures were not enough, here is the experience in a five minute long video.

The boys’ new toybox arrived while they were having cake! Trevor was all ready to try it out!

Caleb and Trevor are checking out the last of the wrapped packages

Brendan claims this package

Opening this one takes team effort!

The boys try out their new scooter!

Bill had the day off of work today to celebrate the boys’ birthday. But he took the opportunity to work on a special project for Brendan. He built a custom mount for an oxygen tank to attach to their fancy double jogger stroller. You almost don’t know it is there and it does not interfere with any of the storage areas. It is great!

Once the boys were tucked in to bed, I got a hair cut and had a piece of birthday cake. Time to go to bed! I think I will be hearing from Trevor a few times during the night.
