Birthday Party

Saturday we celebrated the twins birthday with a Lightning McQueen Party. They have been talking for weeks about wanting to have a party when grandma came to stay with us. Jakub really wanted a pinata so when grandma took them shopping they picked one out. Jakub picked a white cake mix and James picked white frosting with sprinkles. Grandma also had them pick out a toy, outfit and pj's. A package came in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa M so they opened lots of presents including some from mom and dad too.


We hung the pinata outside and let the boys all take a few swings at it with the broom stick and then we took it inside and they pulled the strings to open it. Grandma had stuffed it with candy and prizes.

We sang happy birthday and ate cupcakes before dinner. It was a perfect birthday for these 4 year olds. They were so happy to share their special day with Grandma.
Today...just one day after celebrating the twins birthday....we all had to say goodbye to Grandma. It was so good to have my mom to help out for a week. I couldn't have survived without her. She spoiled us all while she was here. My house is perfectly clean, and I wish I could say it will last. Tonight at bedtime the tears really started to flow. We Miss You Grandma. Thanks Grandpa for sharing your sweetheart with us. We love you!
