April is a busy month for us. Nicole, Brittany & Jake all have their birthdays--within 10 days of each other. Plus, our anniversary is thrown in there, too. I try really hard to focus on each one of them & make sure they have a special day, but it can get hard. I really need to plan better. One of these days I'll figure out how to do it all.
Nicole turned 7 this year. She requested breakfast in bed & loved that!! She headed off to school & then I showed up at lunch time to eat with her. We ate Subway sandwiches together. I hung out with her during recess & then headed home. That evening, we had a little party for her. She was very excited about her presents. I hope she liked what she got.
I decided that I wanted to start a new tradition. I wanted the girls to have a little one on one time with one of their parents, so they get to choose what we do & just spend some fun time together. Nicole chose for her & I to go see "Monsters vs. Aliens". It was fun to sit with her in the theater & have her cuddle up next to me & just enjoy watching the movie & being together. She seemed to really enjoy it, too.
Nicole, you are such a special girl with a tender heart. I hope you know how much we love you & know you have so much to look forward to in your life. Happy Birthday sweetie!!
Brittany turned 10 this year. She is excited cause she gets to start training to be a babysitter. She wants to earn money!! =) Brittany, too, had breakfast in bed. I think this will be an automatic for everyone--oh boy! I went to school to have lunch with her, too, & watched as she played tetherball & hang out with her friends during recess. It's fun to see how my kids interact with others at school. Such a learning experience for me. We had our family party & then she enjoyed her cheesecake at the end. Brittany's choice for her one on one time was to go fishing with her Dad. I thought it was an interesting choice, but it's so Brittany. She loves the outdoors & loves being with her Dad.
Brittany, you have grown up so much & are turning into such a beautiful young girl. I love how you have learned to handle your emotions better & how sweet you can be to others. I love you more than you know & hope you had an amazing 10th birthday!!
