Happy 8th Birthday, Adleigh!

Adleigh began the day with a new “8 and Flamazing!” shirt from Rhonda to wear for her birthday!

Next, she started the morning with toast and a present from Becky and Ben!

At school she was proud to show off her shirt and hear birthday wishes from her friends. Then, we enjoyed a Chick Fila lunch, her favorite. After lunch Adleigh and Dad headed to her favorite place—Busch Gardens!

After lunch Adleigh FaceTimed with Beth and was so excited for her Bluely game, cookbook, and flamingo slippers!

While Adleigh and Dad were at Busch, Lou and I prepared Adleigh’s favorite garlic knots and manicotti.

Meanwhile, Adleigh and Dad had a blast at Busch!

After Busch, Adleigh came back for her requested garlic knot cake.

Then, we did some presents. She was excited for books from Nanny

Next, we FaceTimed with Rhonda. Rhonda sent a bunch of stuff. Adleigh LOVED her flamingo yoga shirt, rug, and clock! Liberty was glad Adleigh got some silky pjs! Canton was thankful for some spending money for his NYC and Disney trips! They all loved the musical card.

After that, we talked with Poppy and Grandma on the phone. Adleigh was thankful for her gifts, especially the Bluey related ones!

Thank you Pap for the card, and the Chick-Fila bonus!

Finally, Adleigh got her presents from us. Books, curtains, but I think the Hershey giant bars were the clear favorites! Happy Birthday, Peanut! We will love you forever!!

7 has been a joy! Can’t wait to see what 8 brings! Love you forever, my sweet peanut!

Happy birthday Mom! You are always there for us with your unconditional love and support. Happy birthday to the most wonderful Mom is there is. We love you!!

Our sweet girls is 10!

The day started with an owl sister picnic!

Liberty got her cute birthday shirts from Rhonda of course!

Then she opened presents from us, she particularly loved the snow globe. Owen was never far from the action.

Next up was FaceTime with Poppy, Grandma, and Beth. She is so excited for all the books to read and cuddles with her new stuffed owl, Celeste.

Then, Liberty FaceTimed with Nanny and got three owls shirts.

Finally, Liberty got to open presents from Rhonda! She loved the card that sings Happy Birthday and does fireworks! As Canton said, “I’ve never seen so much energy put into a card.” Liberty awwwed Solina the stuffed owl, the monster high doll with owl sidekick, and the Barbie mascot that is an owl!! She is very excited for all her new shirts and skorts. Liberty is perhaps most excited about the new purple silk sheets for her bed!

We enjoyed a great dinner and cake!

We then got to Facetime with Pap before heading to CW for fireworks! Happy Birthday Liberty! We love you!

Canton is 14 today!

Some proud sisters woke up early to make his brownies

We sang him Happy Birthday at 11:14, but he was not interested 🙂 A bit later, he came down and immediately started criticizing his flag table cloth 🙂

The girls decorated his Union Jack  cake!

Canton enjoyed opening all of his flag related gifts and finding mistakes in all of them 🙂

More presents!

Canton spent his last day being 13 still recovering from Covid. We are excited to celebrate with him tomorrow. We are so proud of the young man he has become!

Still testing positive 🙁

He will be taller than me next birthday!

Happy 13 full years Canton! I know year 14 will be so full of laughter, growth, and love! We love you!
