getting older.

At this point 3 out of 4 of our children have had their birthday this year ... Matthew is up next. His is an extra special one, so he will have a post all his own. :)

First up - Hollis on April 9th.
SO hard to believe our baby is now three! We had a fun day planned with her favorite breakfast foods, taking her to see Cinderella [her first movie in the theater], and presents, of course. The next day we headed to the beach for more celebrating with Mama Anne, Daddy Nick, Aunt Susie and Uncle Dave. This is the first year she really understood her birthday, so that made it extra fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next in line - Hudson on May 20th.
Hudson's big day began with his breakfast of choice, and ended with swimming @ the country club + his most favorite dinner - Hungry Howies pepperoni pizza. As a bonus, Hudson's birthday usually falls around Memorial Day weekend, so there's more celebrating there ... Star Wars style. :)

Last but not least, Eli on July 6th.

Somehow Eli manages to stay little, which is so nice considering his siblings are growing up way too fast ... and we never would've predicted his little size since he was by far our biggest baby! [weighing 9 lbs. 5 oz.] Our now 5 year old had a big birthday, which kicked off at the beach with lots of family on the 4th of July. Firetrucks and legos were the theme - his absolute favorite. Then on his actual birthday, he enjoyed sweet rolls for breakfast, his first set of golf clubs, lots of pool time, and a happy meal for dinner. Safe to say, our little guy had a big time. :)
