Happy Birthday!!

I can't believe it! Milo and Isabel turned four yesterday! What a day--and what a wild ride the last four years have been. I feel so blessed to be a mother--to be their mother. They are so funny, so unique, and so full of life. I am definitely a better person because of my children.

After we opened presents, we went out for hot chocolate and a little "breakfast" before art class. My kids are obsessed with sitting at Starbucks drinking their hot chocolate. I once tried to talk them into getting their hot chocolate to go--big mistake! They enjoyed themselves as always today. We even saw my friend Suzanne in line. :)

After hot chocolate, they went to art class. As usual, they had a blast. They love Miss Jodie, the art teacher, and they always come out with paint in such funny places (ears, tops of their heads).

Then, it was off to brunch at The Egg and I! Spencer had taken the morning off; it was so nice to hang out together and not be rushing anywhere. Our food was yummy, of course!

The rest of the day was spent playing with new games and hanging out with mom. They also talked to many grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. We felt pretty loved!:) A pretty nice and relaxing day overall. Milo was so excited for his birthday that he started crying when he had to take a nap. "Mom, but will it still be my birthday when I wake up?" So cute.

Saturday is the little birthday party. I'm sure we'll have some good stories and pictures to share!

Best Friends.

Proudly displaying his art project from today.
That smile is totally sincere. :)
