David hung streamers from the hallway ceiling and had balloons all over the floor for them to run through when they woke up, and we had their presents front and center...
Abbey begged and begged for this little stuffed puppy. She'd seen it at the store a few days prior, and then would remind us each day - multiple times a day - how much she really wanted that puppy. Needless to say, she was one happy girl when she opened it!!
Sweet girl has such a deep loves for all animals...even stuffed ones =)
We recently watched "Brave" and both the kids loved it. Now they want to watch it all the time!
Abbey requested a bow & arrow, just like Merida, for her birthday. We learned she's a pretty good shot!
Luke is as well!
Luke requested Darth Vader's red light saber for his birthday...
We also got the kids each a new "Look & Find" book. They are really into those these days!
We had our annual Sprinkle Birthday Pancakes, and sang to each 5 year old...
My creative husband made a bulls eye on the front door window with dry erase marker...so fun!
Then we got ready and headed to meet some sweet family friends at the Zoo!
(yes. my sweet cherub Luke is sticking his tongue out)
My boys...
We could watch the otters swim and play forever...I find it so soothing =)
Our silly little lioness...
Abs peeking through at some insects...
Abbey and Luke with our sweet friends Steve and Lisa. We are so blessed to have them in our lives!
Another family shot...Luke doesn't have his tongue out, it's a Birthday Miracle!!
I love my people...
The zoo had a carousel on the grounds for 3 days only, and we happened to be there that day, so of course we had to ride it!
Lucas checking himself out in the mirror...
It's a little blurry, but I love the joy on Abbey's face here...
Our little goofballs...
We had so much fun just walking around together. Having a zoo pass the last two years has been such a gift! It's nice to be able to go whenever we want, for as long or short as we want.
The kids were being silly with Dave on our way out, and I snapped a few shots...
They sure love their Daddy =)
And now, they're FIVE.
