Mike’s Birthday

3.15.2012

For Mike’s birthday Nadia said we had to have a cake! She was really upset on my birthday last year because I didn’t make a cake – apparently you don’t actually age without the cake.  (I did make a cake the next day and she was very happy). She really wanted to help make Mike’s cake with her cooking tools she got for Christmas. She also wanted to give him something Toy Story for a gift so we went with a Toy Story 3 puzzle. In the middle of this discussion Amelie kept asking me if it was her birthday and if the cake was for her. Then I would say, “No it’s for Daddy.” And she walked away singing, “Appy birtday to daddy Appy birtday to daddy.”

That morning we took care of all our usual commitments like museum school and music class and even had some friends over for lunch while Mike was at work. Before nap time we made the cake for Daddy – Nadia had fun learning how to make a marble cake.

Once Mike was home from work we went to dinner at Pappasito’s and it was yummy as always! We came home and decorated the cake and sang Mike ‘Happy Birthday’ again.

Mike said, “This is what your birthday turns into when you have a 5 year old.” That is so true and it was a great day! We love you!

Valentine’s Day 2012

I know this post is a month late, but the photos are cute!

I was REALLY excited about Valentines this year because of Amelie’s Gotcha Day Anniversary. I bought little gifts for the girls – 1 game to share “Uno Moo.” Then a Hello Kitty Pez dispenser for Amelie and a Yoda for Nadia. We also got a lot of stickers for Amelie and a Star Wars M&M dispenser. They were really excited.

Getting Pez dispensers was apparently so exciting that they fell over.

That day we went to the gym and I went up to the school to mentor my little KIDS HOPE USA child. After the girls had a nap we went to dinner EARLY at Pei Wei and headed home to bake heart cookies. It was a wonderful day!
