Birthday Party!

Happy Birthday to my sweet babes!

This post is picture overload so I'll keep it short. We celebrated the kids' birthdays together this year, a tradition that will be the case for many years to come around here. It happened to be on Saturday April 6th, on Payton's actual birthday and we lucked out with decent weather. It was a little cool and windy at times, but it was dry and warm enough to be outside which made my day! We rented a bounce castle again, had food, drinks and cake and invited our family and friends to come celebrate with us.

The party went great and we were extremely thankful to have Kole's parents, brother and Grandma in town to help us get ready and to be here to celebrate with us!

Grant just wanted to play with the fire on top of his cake so we quickly blew it out and let him have a piece.

Enjoying a solo pajama jump session when the castle was first set up. They leave it all day which is a nice treat.

I wish I was more crafty and creative, but it's just not my strength. I do love making their parties colorful though.

Loves her Uncle Josh!

Grant really liked playing with the balloons

Dressed in their party best, but no way mom was going to get a picture of them both looking at the camera at the same time.

Getting as much special Aunt time in before she has to share with her new cousin

Nana took one for the team and crawled into the bounce castle so Grant could join in on the fun. He had no fear and had a ball

He loved the cake! We had to laugh because later in the afternoon when we put him down for a nap we could hear him bouncing in his bed and he managed to get the monitor off the night stand and proceeded to bang it repeatedly against his crib. I think it took him over an hour to wind down and fall asleep and then he only slept 30 minutes. We decided cake would not be part of Grant's daily diet, but it was fun to watch him enjoy it :)

Purple is Payton's favorite color at the moment so a purple cake it was

The kids may not always love that their birthdays are a day a part, but I have to say I love getting to celebrate them at the same time, it just makes for a really happy, sentimental couple of days at our house!

I'll do a separate individual post for the details on each kiddo

Happy 3rd and 1st birthdays to our sweet little ones, we love you so much!!
