Tornado turned 4 at the end of the month. Since he turned an even year, we had a family party. And what better way to celebrate with family, than by having extra family?
Nana and Papa came to visit! It was so fun to have them. The weather was not the best, but we all enjoyed the company. Here is Sunrise doing something he does often- desperately wanting to follow his brothers.
But that night he got right down and snuggled with them.
Nana and Papa brought gifts for Sunshine's birthday too, since it was only the week before. Our kids love Trio blocks.
And here is the birthday boy when he woke up from his nap that day!
He just loved being the center of attention. Sometimes being the 3rd kid can be rough, but he really is a good sport. He is our funniest and most entertaining child.
Dad and Sunrise had a good time on the couch together while Tornado was opening up presents. Sunrise has been so snuggly lately.
Cloudburst and Sunshine were so excited to see what Tornado opened up. He really liked the presents Grandma wrapped in newspaper with a giant "D" on the front.
Later that night we tried out a new place here in town called Monkey Island. It has blow-ups, a small arcade and an ice cream shop. The kids LOVED it! It was so fun to let them run around and jump to their heart's content. They all slept well that night.
After we got home, we had the fabulous monkey cake. It is one of those cupcake-puzzle cakes and Sunshine, Nana and I had decorating it together.
Like the new jammies?
And like the snow we got? I tell ya, we always get snow before Halloween here.
And one last fun tidbit. A lot of people ask where Sunrise gets his sunshiny blond hair from. Well, Nana found a darling old picture of herself.
See any resemblance??
And this is a picture of Papa. I think Sunshine takes after him.
We had a great trip, and as always it went by much too quickly!
