• Birthdays All At Once

  Rachel and I figured that as long as we were getting together, we’d hold off on all the kids’ birthday gifts until the kids could watch each other open them. So for the twins’ 1st birthday in September, Jack’s 4th birthday in October, Laila’s 7th birthday January 1st, and Anna Kathryn’s 4th birthday coming up at the end of March, we all got together while they were here and opened gifts. The cousins are so rarely all in the same place.

  

  The twins loved the picture of their gift–since it’s for summertime outside, they didn’t get to open it yet.

  

  Anna Kathryn loves her new Disney Princess chair and the matching towel and bathing suit.

  

  William loves her chair too. Here he is, texting his friends on John’s old cell phone.

  

  Jack got a FedEx plane/truck/airport set from his cousins.

  

  And Laila got art supplies which her mother wisely didn’t let her open until my three inquisitive children were nowhere near them.

  

  It was a great visit, even if it was short. When they left, Anna Kathryn had two questions for me:

  “Mommy, do we know how to get to Uncle Eric’s house?”

  and

  “I want to play with Laila’s Leapster game again.”
