Noah and Eli had their birthday on the 21st and I think they had a blast. Aaron and I woke them up by singing them happy birthday. They weren't all that excited to get out of bed until I said there were presents in the living room. That definitely got them moving and were so excited for their Captain America helmets and Batman costumes. We then headed over to Grandma's house and woke everyone up. Deb's sister Wendy is visiting so they couldn't wait to show Grandma and Aunt Wendy their new stuff. They of course couldn't wait to open more presents so Grandma let them open the presents from them.

Aren't these the coolest boots you've ever seen? The spiders and heels light up. The boys love their Spiderman boots.

We were supposed to take them to Spalding Donuts for breakfast but apparently they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. We had to improvise so we headed over to Brown's Bakery to get cupcakes for their party and ate Subway which was just next door. By this time we had to make our way over to speech therapy and of course their amazing therapists spoiled them with candy and toys.

 After speech we headed home and decorated Grandma's deck for a little birthday party with the family and Miss Ginny, Landen, and Laura (our backyard neighbors and good friends). We stuffed ourselves with delicious cupcakes, opened a couple more presents, and did the pinata. Aunt Wendy gave the boys gift cards to Toys 'r' Us so after the party we headed over to TRU so the boys could pick out their toys. The both picked out a Power Ranger figurine and Power Ranger sword. Aaron met us for dinner at Applebees. The boys felt pretty special when the employees sang them a birthday song and gave them each a giant ice cream sundae.

It was a busy day but they had a lot of fun. They are already asking about their next birthday :)
