I guess another reason I haven't posted much lately on our blog is because October through January is usually a blur in our household. After Ava's birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Isaac's birthday, Christmas, New Years, this new baby's upcoming birth, Chris's birthday, and then Madisons birthday, we'll be exhausted by the time February comes. But its all so much fun, we do it every year!
Another fun thing we did in October, besides Halloween, was Ava's birthday party. So far we have only done "Sunday dinner" parties for her, maybe next year she'll graduate to a weekday party with ALL of her cousins and friends! We were really excited to give her a tricycle, because she always tries to ride Madison's old bike (thats too big) and the infant trike we already have (thats too small). But of course she's scared of her new trike and won't come near it. Maybe if we would have gotten her a Dora trike, or something prettier.... well, hopefully someday she'll lose her fear of the big scary red trike. She got a lot of other fun things, most of them having to do with Dora and Diego, her absolute favorite characters. My how we love the Rescue Pack and all the fun LOUD things he says when she pushes the button!
Isaac was luckier this year... he had a bunch of his friends and a few cousins (and all of his siblings of course) at his birthday party, and he had a blast. Even though his actual birthday isn't until tomorrow, December 18th, we try to celebrate his birthday early in December so that it doesn't become part of the Christmas blur. He got a lot of fun stuff, including his favorites, Star Wars, Pez, and Star Wars Pez! He also loves Batman, Spiderman, and Transformers and he was lucky enough to get all those things, too. He asked me the next day what he would be getting for his "real birthday party" (on his real birthday) and I said, uhhh... well Christmas is coming soon! He IS bringing cupcakes to preschool on his "real" birthday, so I guess thats where he got confused. :o)
