Birthday Collage

Just a recap on what happened on all 3 celebrations!

Kai's 2-year old Bday Party at the Lakeridge Athletic Club

Wednesday March 5, 2008
Can you believe that this is Kai's 3rd birthday cake/celebration? We had his party 6 days after his actual birthday so that his cousins Cohen and Hope (from Chicago) could celebrate with him. It was a pleasant surprise that my sister came up with this idea to fly out so Kai could be with family.

Hope patiently sits there waiting to chow. And she's wearing the leopard outfit we got her for Xmas! How cute!
Since Cheri was only available weekdays (her weekends are spent at work), we held Kai's luncheon party where I work at the Lakeridge Athletic Club on Wednesday.

Kai's mouth is just stuffed! I guess he really wants to get to dessert right away! Which by the way, I baked the cupcakes the night before and Cheri decorated it. I got the idea off the back of a cake box!

Hope and Kai's daycare buddy Logan. Hope tries her first meal of cheese macaroni.

We served dinosaur cheese macaroni and meatballs. Followed by the tower of Elmo birthday cupcakes.

Video: Another birthday song and cake too!

Happy birthday Kai! We love you!

Hope gets her first try at birthday cake!

Having tasted the good stuff, she screams at Mommy for not feeding her cake fast enough. Look at that surprised look on Cheri's face!

Kai opens the gift from nana. And is thrilled with the Thomas Train computer. (He takes it to bed with him every night to hear the choo-choo sound).

While the boys check out this gadget, Hope is checking out the wheels on this car.

Yeah! More Dr. Seuss books to go along with Horton, the elephant stuffed animal.

Elmo party-favors from Kai.

Hope and her mama snuggle.

Kai breaks the ice by showing everyone his belly button. For some reason he just loves to play with his naval while socializing.

Kai on Birthday Morn!

Isn't that a great drawing of Elmo from Auntie Jen and Uncie Derek from Chicago? Obviously Kai is pleased with his gift (more to come with that on another blog!)


Video: Watch Kai's face when he gets what he's been asking for the past 3 weeks! A Bike!

A specially made birthday card from his cousin Dylan in Ottawa, Canada!

One of the best presents for Kai- gramma and grampa on his birthday (who flew in from Ottawa, Canada).

The Twin Buddies Get Some Wheels on Their 2nd Bday!

Kai and Lukas show their affection for one another. Plus they're excited to be outdoors to celebrate their very own birthdays at the park with each other.


VIDEO: Blowing out their candles. 2 candles, 2 cupcakes each.

Eating their cake and icing two (too)!

Kai and Lukas each got a SKUUT from the Thomas Family.

The boys open up their gifts.

And they also get a Radio Flyer Scooter each from the Bienert Family.

Video: Similarity in names here- they each get a SKUUT and a SCOOTER.

It was so beautiful out- perfect weather for the kids to be out. Speaking of which, there were kids everywhere!

Birthday card from Lukas to Kai.

The boys test out their new wheels and see if they can pick up some chicks.
