Big sister A had her first double digit birthday! I keep telling them they are growing too fast, but it just keeps happening. A's birthday dinner request was sushi! Such a smart beautiful girl. She has grown up so much this year. Really growing into herself, thoughtful, considerate, and anxious to do what it right.
Lucky for me, my good friend had just taught me how to make sushi. We made California rolls mostly and some with just veggies, and some with no avocado for Grandmama.
For her birthday activity we went to see "Mary Poppins Returns". Her birthday treat was candy and popcorn in the movie, so no cake. I loved the costumes and scenery. The singing was magical too.
For Brother M's birthday he wanted chicken cordon bleu again (same as last year), with string beans, and oven roasted potatoes. Hubby had to make everything because we spent the day doing fun activities and they needed to leave on time for a pack meeting.
Brother M's birthday morning, he received some presents from siblings and Grandmama & Grandpa Jim. His big lego set (from all the grandparents) arrived in the mail that evening. Perfect timing!
We filled M's birthday with activities. First stop, our annual visit to see the Christmas train exhibit at the nature center conservatory. We met our W family buddies there.
They take the scavenger hunt very seriously.
Then on to ice skating for an hour.
It was a different rink than usual (close to the nature center) and they had those silly walkers for beginning skaters. The kids can all skate well now after all their lessons, but they still thought it was fun to ram around with the walkers. Miss L stayed with me most of the time.
Then we went to Ikea. The kids broke a drawer in our toy cupboards and I got a replacement.
And here is one of the things we love about brother M. He is not afraid to be wild and silly. He is so easy going and happy-go-lucky.
