Happy Birthday Brandon and Connor

Today was a GREAT birthday for the boys! The day started with breakfast in the shape of the number 3....pancakes, apples, and sausage. This is a tradition for us!!!



Here they are in their 3 year old birthday shirts...




It started off with 2 inches of snow and an addition 3/4 in of ice throughout the day. Unfortunately, some of our friends weren't able to make it to their party, but the ones that did all had a really good time. We enjoyed some hot bbq sandwiches, cheese (at Connor's request) fruit and chips...and cupcakes OF COURSE!



Eric and Paul went outside and cleaned off the boys' birthday present...a 14 foot trampoline. I have a feeling this spring and summer will be spent on that thing. Connor, Brandon, and their little friend Brea, had a BLAST on it even though it was wet and still raining freezing rain! After about 20 minutes, all kiddos came inside and got warm. Our friends left and the boys went down for a nap.



We went out to dinner thinking that it wouldn't be busy because of the weather, but we were wrong. A lot of stores, including our mall, were closed as were many restaurants, so O'Charleys was PACKED. The boys celebrated with a big scoop of ice cream for dessert. We came home, finished watching the movie UP and put the boys to bed.

They had a BLAST with Brea and Gage, and loved every single present they received. Thanks so much to our very generous family and friends. We are extending the party to tomorrow afternoon in the hopes that the rest of our friends can come over.

I forgot that I bought the boys the wooden workbench! I bought it when they were about a year and a half old thinking I would give it to them for Christmas when they turned 2. I've been cleaning out the baby stuff from the shed and found it! I threw it together during their nap yesterday and they loved it. I love buying things like that on clearance, I just hate that I forget about them!!!!

Here are a few videos of the boys playing on their trampoline!!!
