Happy January Birthdays

In our family, we group birthdays and celebrate together. We have done it that way ever since I was a little kid and I’m so glad it’s a tradition we haven’t quit!

The kids play upstairs while waiting for dinner

January is Andy, Amy, Theresa and Will’s birthdays. This year we celebrated on Amy’s actual birthday!

This year we had waffles from my parents’ new professional Belgian waffle-maker. They were delicious and I have decided that we NEED one!!! ;o)

Elsie had applesauce for her dinner,but I think she enjoyed it! Look at those chubby pink cheeks! She is so sweet!

We also opened gifts, which is always fun!

Legos! Always a good choice!

  What could be in such a huge box?

  

It is a very flat drum bag… So why the huge box? Who knows??? But it made for a pretty impressive gift!

It also made for a super fun toy for the kids! Thanks, Amazon!

Will is excited about this one and he doesn’t even know what it is…

Will got a light box for taking pictures! He must have known it was something he was gonna really like…

His first light box picture… a Lego, of course!

Even after all that playing and opening we were still pretty full. But it was time for birthday cake anyway…

After all the candles are in, we light ‘em…

I love how Stella did the candles in Amy’s pie! She made sure they were in there really good! LOL

“Happy Birthday to You…”
