Here are a few pictures from our birthday celebration... I wanted to share more pictures but blogger is not cooperating with me today and this has taken me forever to do, so this will have to do for now...
On the boys "real" birthday (which they did not really understand... if it was their real birthday why was their party not that day... ) I cooked their favorite muffins for breakfast and had each a candle. They thought that was so neat! Then at lunch and dinner they wanted to know why they did not have candles in their pb & j sandwiches and chicken fingers!!
Our tradition is that James always decorates their birthday cakes (primarily because he is cheap and does not want to pay bakery prices for cakes that do not even taste that grand!) It has become something the boys really look forward to. Usually we have one cake, but this year, David wanted a train cake and Paul wanted a crane truck cake... how can you do both of those on one cake? James found these great pictures on the internet and took them to our local Wal-Mart where they printed them on sugar paper! We just placed them on the cakes and put the border around them... so easy! This was wonderful, as the boys loved them and they did not bother James' tendinitis in his arms too terribly bad.
