The pre-birthday party involved the four girls, Mya and Sydney's American Girls Dolls and one American Girl Catalog. Doing what all girls do . . .dreaming of what dolls and accessories they want. Pretty sure I know what our girls will be asking for for their birthdays! (Claire's bday is July 25 and Zoe's is August 25. Isaiah's is October 12.)
LOVE seeing these four hang out together!
I asked the boys to pose for a picture . . .
Then I asked them to put their arms around each other and this is what I got . . .
And then this. Hilarious!
The birthday boy eating his fruit kabab.
The much anticipated guitar he was hoping to get for his birthday.
Grammy, of course, made him a (matching) strap for it.
All smiles with that guitar!
He also got a drum since he loves drumming so much. And he is sporting one of the sleeveless shirts he got. He is obsessed with sleeveless shirts and would wear them everyday if I let him.
Oh yeah!
Cake time!
I attempted to make him a guitar for his birthday. I originally traced a guitar of Greysen's but that piece of paper went missing when I needed it (oh, life with four kids!) so I just winged it!
Kate's fabulous BEACH cake for Mya. The picture does not do it justice.
Abram was very excited about the candles.
And he blew them out before we finished singing!
Little Miss Eight Year Old Mya.
The cousins spend the night Saturday night (for the first time!) and had their ice cream while they watched movie after the birthday party.
I had been wondering how the first family birthday party was going to go with our kids. Birthdays can be big triggers for kids who are adopted (both because of the reminders of the pain associated with losing their birth families and/or the desire of kids with RAD to sabotage the good, fun, close feelings associated with birthday parties. Our kids did really, really well the whole day. I am so thankful!
I probably had the hardest time. But, that is for a different post.
