We spent most of Anna's birthday with our extended family celebrating the life of my Grandpa. Benjamin and I were both still feeling sick, so we headed back home that evening. It worked out well as we got to have some birthday fun with Anna once we got home. First up we gave her the birthday present we got for her. It was a very large present, so we sent the kids upstairs so we could bring it out and have it be a surprise. Here she is excitedly coming downstairs to check out her present.......
See the three boys coming down behind her? :)
It was way too big to wrap (I tried!) so I ended up just putting a big blanket over it. Here's the birthday girl peeking in....
She's so excited!!!
It's a new doll house!!
All three kids really love it!
Anna immediately ran and grabbed a doll to play with in her house.
Everybody had a great time!
The dollhouse moved to it's new home. (Collin kept throwing their toys over the gate we have in this door opening and playing with the trashcan, so we decided to use Anna's new toy to fix that problem for us.)
Cheese!
Our three little ones! (You can tell Benjamin still wasn't feeling better. :( )
Then it was time for a special treat that Daddy made the birthday girl..... a coffee mug cake. You mix some ingredients in a coffee mug and microwave it and ta-da, you have a yummy dessert that you can enjoy without eating on it for a week like you do when you make a full sized cake! Anna was excited. :)
She said she wished for us to be together forever. :)
Two very happy kiddos!
Happy Birthday my sweet cupcake!!!!
The next day we decided to celebrate Anna some more. They have a new Dora and Diego section at the Children's Museum which was a great excitement for our birthday girl!
They had fun rescuing animals like Diego does.....
and visiting the Purple Planet......
and driving Tiko's car and helping him gather his nuts.......
and then exploring the Pirate Piggies' ship. Argh, Matey!!!
Collin LOVED putting these coins in the Pirate Piggies bank and walking off and on the ship.
Then it was time to visit Egypt and our favorite crocodile......
He's got it!
They had fun running this Egyptian market.
Then we headed to the dinosaurs. None of the kids were scared of the dinosaurs for once, so we actually got to explore some! Everyone was getting worn down and ready for lunch by then though. We still had a great time and are thankful we were able to give our little three year old a special day!
