sofia and jaedon's birthdays

Sofia turned 4 years old on the 10th. 6 days after we arrived here in Florida. It was kind of chaotic, but hopefully she felt special and still enjoyed her day.

When we would ask her what she wanted for her birthday, and while at the store to see what toys she liked, she told us she just wanted clothes. What!? Who's child is this!? :)

She did find one barbie toy that she said she did like though. And of course it was just the perfect accessory to go with her "clothes".

For her birthday cake she said she wanted a Hello Kitty cake. Which was easy since we have a mold from Livy's birthday last year. And then Sofia wanted to decorate it herself. So my job was even easier. To be honest I was kind of happy that she wanted it that way, since we were still quite overwhelmed with getting the house put together.

Jaedon turned the big number 8 this year! And all he has wanted is a Kindle Fire. He actually told us he wanted this about in January so we told him the only way he would probably get one is if he paid for half. So, surprisingly he saved and saved his allowance quite faithfully.

Since he was only getting the Kindle ,and we had lots of boxes,  I decided to pack it up in a big box and progressively get smaller. 

 The whole time I kept aksing him what he thought it was. He just kept responding with , "I don't know." I think the big box threw him off, and thought he might be getting something else other than a kindle. It was nice to see him still excited for it.

 And to go with the present, we made a Kindle Fire cake, and of course of him playing a roller coaster game. 

Love both of these kids more than ever, and can't wait for Jaedon's baptism.
