We were lucky enough to have Gramma here to celebrate her birthday with us in Arizona again! Two years in a row, Gramma has had to deal with life-changing surprises about new grandbabies brewing. We did no such thing to her this year, it was comparatively a low key day.
Not to say it wasn’t busy! We took so many pictures today, I thought I would be up all night trying to pick which ones to use for the blog!
Trevor was feeling a lot better this morning. He had to start the big day with a cup of coffee.
He got dressed up in his snappiest summer romper and brought Gramma out her birthday present.
He is a good present delivery man
The boys were good opening helpers too
Then they played puzzles
Then they read books
Then they dressed up in silly sunglasses
Nothing spoils a birthday girl like putting her to work! She gave Bill a haircut under Brendan’s close supervision.
While Gramma was busy, the boys finally made her their birthday cards. They take their artwork very seriously!
And then things got a little crazy!
“Who knew washable markers aren’t really all that washable where skin is concerned?” says Trevor as he soaks his fingers
After a trip to Sams Club to buy diapers, we put Gramma to work again on another little haircut.
Trevor was such a good boy and was only a little wiggly. Gramma did an awesome job working on a moving target
Before and After. Not only was it cleaned up, but the back is now neatly layered in a clean cut little boy haircut!
Brendan is the only one of the family now that needs an awesome Gramma haircut!
There were so many cute pictures I had to leave out! We got fish & chips takeout from our favorite Irish pub tonight and followed it up with some key lime pie. It was a crazy day, but we hope that Gramma enjoyed her birthday as much as she could around this place!
I definitely enjoyed being in AZ again this year, although unplanned! Thank you for everything you did, with all that you have to do, to make it special. We did have a busy day, with way too many cute pictures! I’m lucky that I get to see them all! 🙂
I’m so happy that Trevor feels so much better. The new medicine is working like magic to make him well. He was a much happier boy today!
Brendan is getting better by the day, and his numbers keep improving. Maybe you are finally winning the battle against this flu/croup/ear infection/sinus infection respiratory nightmare that hit your family. I hope the healing continues, and the wellness begins.
Lots and lots of love and birthday thank you’s,
Gramma xxxx
Happy Birthday to your Mom, it looks like she did have a fun day.
