This year, they had school on their actual birthdays. This was the first time I've been away from them at all on this day, so that was a little hard for me, but we all survived! :)
The day started with Fischer waking up early, as usual. :) He enjoyed his birthday breakfast (nothing special since we are always rushing on school mornings as it is).
They also had special toilet paper to use, courtesy of Grandma Suttle.
Later, Addison woke up and the two posed together after she ate her breakfast. I love this birthday picture. It looks like she is a lot taller but she isn't. Not sure why it looks like that in the picture!
I then packed up their "party-in-a-bag" for school. They each took cupcakes - yellow with chocolate icing for Fischer and strawberry with vanilla icing for Addison, along with strawberries and juice. In addition, they each got to pick out special plates and napkins to take, which they loved.
Scott escorted them to my car in style since it was a yucky, rainy morning, and we were off to school.
After school, Scott and I picked them up and we all went out to lunch. We went to a local pizza place, where Fischer got pizza (of course) and Addison got plain noodles. Whatever makes them happy. :)
When they got home, they discovered their special balloons tied to their chairs. These balloons were their favorite present and I think we could have skipped getting them any other gifts. They stuck around for a few days, and it was quite sad when they popped.
After a rest, they got to open their presents throughout the afternoon/evening. They had fun helping each other out. I think my favorite part was when they opened their gifts from each other. They each picked something out at the dollar store (with no help or guidance from me!!). Addison picked out a doctor's set for Fischer, while he picked a little hairstyling set for her. They were so funny opening these, and I just loved it!
Of course we did a cupcake after dinner, and this was the first time they'd ever blown out candles. It took Fischer a few tries, but he finally got it after a little lesson about blowing straight at the candle instead of over it. :) Addison blew hers out before I could get a picture!
Then it was time for a bubble bath (a birthday tradition!)...
Then we watched a show before bed to rest up for party day. Lucy was just as tired as Addison and Fischer by this time. :)
It was a great day, and I think we all had a great time celebrating!
