Happy Birthday Thing 1 and Thing 2

Both my kids have end-of-the-year birthdays. Lucy's is November 13 and Simon's is December 2. Since we're on a birthday party rotation, it was Lucy's turn to have a party this year.

Lucy selected a "Fancy Nancy" birthday party with several 3/4 year old girls. Her main request at the party: dance to the song "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie, which we did at least seven times.

The girls got their fancy on with a table full of accessories complete with photo shoot...


Decorated the table and played fancy games like "Make the Donkey Fancy"....

Had a fancy lunch...


And ended with presents and fancy cupcakes...



I've never felt so fancy in my whole life. Lucy had a GREAT time.

The family party was a much quieter event. I was able to volunteer at preschool that day and spent the day playing games with this little stinker. We enjoyed taco soup (her choice) and all-natural chocolate cupcakes (which she loved!).

Simon didn't have a birthday this year but we wanted to celebrate with something special so we told him he could pick one friend and go do something fun. He chose his BFF Izzy from school and decided to go to lunch at Noodles and Co and then paint pottery. No stress and a lot of fun. Plus all three kids were completely satisfied.

Because he didn't have a party, he got to have a fancy cake for his family birthday party. He, of course, chose Batman which worked out well since my mom gave me the pan she'd used for my brother when he was a little boy. He also chose Batman cookies to take to school, which took longer to make than the cake.




This time is going by so fast. I can't believe I have a seven-year-old and a four-year-old. I'm not ready for them to grow up so fast but I'm enjoying each stage and love seeing what wonderful people they are becoming.

Happy Birthday kiddos!!
