This year I told the kids that no one would be having a birthday party. We would be taking the year off and just do simple family birthday celebrations. I'm so grateful we did because July turned out to be a very stressful and busy month. We did promise Lily and Skyler that now that they were big enough and strong enough swimmers, that we would take them to Emerald Point -- a really fun water park -- for their birthdays. We had a ton of fun there.
Ella turned 4 and requested birthday brownies with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream on top. It was very specific. :) Her major birthday activity was going to get her ears pierced, but then I looked online and remembered that you can't go swimming for a few weeks after you get your ears pierced so we decided we would get that done when the pool closes in September.
Skyler turned 7 and requested a chocolate ice cream cake with mint oreo ice cream. It was easy enough to make. He ended up with tons of Legos for his birthday -- 3 of which were Star Wars lego sets. He got a tie fighter, an x-wing, and a sith transporter which was a big deal because he loves Darth Maul.
