Ok, so Chris is a little old to call a cutie, but he certainly is a December birthday. His birthday as an adult is a rather subtle affair nowadays. He is so happy with good food and something techie like a movie or video game. It's almost the same every year.
So this year I went out of my way to make a special dinner. We had saved a little extra for the holidays and I used it to buy some delicious king crab at Costco. I was a bit nervous about the crab since the last time we'd had it was in Seattle,WA and it had been caught only 4 hrs before we bought it. (I know-we were spoiled!) But it turned out so good. Add to that a plate full of lemons and a salad and Chris was in heaven! He's so fun to surprise! He takes it really well and while the kids didn't enjoy the crab as much as mom and dad, it was dad's birthday so really he's the only one that had to like it!
After that we opened gifts and had some fun. Then we played some video games and watched some shows. It was understated but still very fun. So glad he had a birthday so I had a good reason to spend a little extra on dinner! Yummmy!!!
Lizzy's birthday is the day after Chris' on the 10th. We already decided that Liz would have a birthday party with her friends on Saturday, so we had a little family party the day of her birthday.
First we had our regular carpet picnic, pizza and soda, with our family movie - "The Secret of the Wings" - and presents from the family. The movie was also a gift for Lizzy's special day. She was so excited to get the movie, but it was twice as amazing for her to get the little tinker bell dolls from the movie right after we ate dinner. She was so happy and generous. All the kids were allowed to hold one of the new dolls during the film. They all had such a great time.
Later in the week Lizzy had a great Dora birthday party. We had a cute little Dora cake with Boots and Dora on top. Then we played some games and Chris made a Dora playlist. Seeing all her friends giggling and laughing and having fun! Oh to be 3!
Happy Birthday Chris and Lizzy - we love you!
