Happy Birthday to You! and you and you and you...

Did you know that my four kids all have birthdays within 3 months of each other?

From mid April to mid July I feel like we are in a constant party.

And not only do they have friend parties, but family parties too.

And often, a family party for each side of the family.

By the time we're done, I'm tired, I've gained weight and I have crepe paper stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

So this year, I'm lumping all the birthdays into one nice little blog post.

Thankfully, Lillie and Chloe's birthdays are only a week apart. So we had a joint party this year. We rented a bouncy house/slide and a cotton candy machine and invited 27 little girls (and one very brave little boy!)

It was awesome.

We have a tradition of waking up our kids on their birthdays.

We come into their room singing Happy Birthday with a cupcake and a candle.

We video it all. It's pretty fun and I think they will be fun to look back on when our kids are big.

Here's Brian making cotton candy as fast as he can.

Here's Lillie at the bottom of the slide. Everyone played hard.

My darling little girls. They are so wonderful and add so much love in my life.

Chloe is 8 and Lillie is 5.

In June, we celebrated Noah's birthday.

He's 11 now and is such a great kid.

He chose to invite a few friends and go to 7 Peaks water park.

They had a great time and stayed until it closed.

But big boys are hard to get pictures of and this is my only one.

Just this week we celebrated Milo's third birthday.

He is growing up way too fast and I instantly tear up when I think about it.

Here he is with his Birthday donut. (the boys want donuts instead of cupcakes)

I made him a CARS cake and we threw him a little water party with 3 of his closest buddies.

So there you go! Cahoon kids birthdays. They are growing so fast and I try to remember to cherish their littleness everyday. They are the greatest blessing in my life.
