Summer’s Birthday 5/1/13

 

Summer’s Birthday was on a Wednesday this year.  So we decided to have her party the weekend after. Luckily she went to school on Wednesdays so we could celebrate at her preschool. Last year Tom had to travel and unfortunately he had to travel this year as well. I started some traditions last year since it was the first year of Summer’s birthday not being on the weekend. I decorate downstairs and her door. I have all the presents that she receives in the mail on the mantel, gift from Tucker and a couple small ones from us. It’s like Christmas. In case you haven’t noticed I LOVE birthdays and celebration them. Celebration my kids has been the most fun and special. I love them so much!

Time to make some cupcakes for Summer’s class! She decided on the Minnie Mouse ones that she loves to make. Minnie is still one of her favorites! We started off letting Tucker help us but decided after he helped with the wrappers that maybe we should work on them ourselves.

We gave Tucker a snack and got back to work. This mad Summer happy as she wasn’t as thrilled that he was “helping” with her special cupcakes. He kept throwing the wrappers. Tucker is all boy!

Me and the birthday girl!!! Oh how I love this little girl so much! 4 years have flown by!

On a side note, I knew I was pregnant (6 weeks) at this point but my parents and Summer did not yet. Before we got ready to have cake and ice cream Summer told us that she really wants to have a little sister and she has a plan. She decided that I would marry someone else and have a baby girl and she would marry Dada! It was very sweet and I just kept thinking that little did she know she was going to be a Big Sister again!!!
