Komarnicki Kids

I can't believe it has been a week (almost) since Addison and Fischer's birthday. Time is already flying for this year too!

So, last Wednesday, the kids woke up to find cards on the table. They opened their "mail" then ate their breakfast. Addison requested cinnamon rolls, and she patiently waited for them to finish so they could eat.

Then they got to open their first present of the day...but not until Daddy was out of the shower. So, they stood outside the door and yelled "Daddy!" until he got out. Lucky for Scott, he was smart and locked the door because I know they would've barged right in to tell him to hurry up. They were pretty excited. :)

Fischer got a cool dog guitar, which makes his Uncle Chris very proud.

Addison got a cat piano complete with a microphone, so now they can have some serious jam sessions.

Scott had some work to do that morning so the kids and I hung out up the in play room. We relaxed and watched some of their favorite shows. Next up was lunch at our favorite chinese place, Miyo's. Their food is very fresh and the kids always eat their weight in vegetables when we are there, which is always nice to see. They also love the fish tank in the waiting area so they had fun telling the fish that we were there for their birthdays. :) Addison even did her best fishy-face for the fish.

Of course, we had to have a fortune cookie after our meal.

After lunch, we had a couple of quick errands to run before heading to our final destination - the zoo!!! One of our stops was the Children's Hospital so we could drop off all of the donations from the party! Instead of gifts for the kids, we asked for donations again this year. We got some good stuff (and the kids still got awesome gifts too!) and the director at the hospital was so excited.

Finally it was zoo time! Our first stop was the Icee stand - Fischer picked blue and Addison picked purple. They even shared some along the way - it was really cute. :)

We stopped to rest for a minute and I realized it was the same exact bench we fed the kids on during their first zoo trip ever at 9 months old!

Then we headed to ride the ponies! Fischer had ridden a pony before but Addison hadn't so I wasn't sure if she would actually end up riding or not. But she went first and didn't even ask for me to walk around the loop with her. Such a big girl! Their pony's name was Spooky. The helmets were a little big. :)

Fischer waited patiently for his turn and had a great time!

Next we rode the train, then the carousel.

The kids did get to take a little nap on the way home...

When we got home, we relaxed for a little bit since the kids didn't get a real nap. Then they opened a couple more presents - a small kite for each of them (which didn't work out so well but they had a great time pulling them around the yard) and some new jammies.

Then we had a yummy dinner of shrimp, fish and asparagus, and leftover birthday cake, after singing Happy Birthday of course.
