Birthday Celebration

After breakfast today, Nora started in on a few of her presents. Jonah wanted her to open his gift first. The day before when we wrapped it, Jonah said he knew just what he wanted the tag to say, and he got to work. He brought it over to me and it said, “From: Jonah –  To: Nora –  Hi Nora. I am giving you a Phillies hat for your birthday.” What a great tag!

Then they both tested out their Phillies moves.

Nora was a pro at the whole unwrapping part.

She loved playing with her new doll accessories, changing the baby, and ‘packing up the baby’s bag.’

Then she decided to try on the baby’s new pants.  Silly Nora.

Her big gift this year was a balance bike, and she likes it, but has been very good at sharing with Jonah, who loves it. :)

They both enjoyed playing ‘tea party’ today with “real water!” and cheerios. Jonah was the very happy pourer.

And then Nora accidentally knocked over the sugar bowl of cheerios while trying the put the lid on, and it surprised both kids so much that they cracked up for minutes about it.

Nora quickly blew out the candles and needed no convincing to dive right in.

Oh yeah. We should probably put a bib on you…

Happy Birthday, Nora!

She’s 2 years old now!!!

Not sure how long it’ll take to go through the rest of the birthday pictures, so I thought I’d quickly put up this cute one of our big birthday girl with her cake, exactly as requested – “big pink cupcake with a black tweet tweet with a tongue sticking out.”  Funny, funny, funny kid…

Baseball Cake

Here’s a video of Jonah with his birthday cake. I love the part when he realizes that I haven’t done the foul lines quite right, and he seems to feel bad about having to break it to me.

Happy 4th Birthday!!

The day after we returned from our big East Coast vacation, our little boy turned FOUR years old. :) We were all pretty tired from the travels, but Jonah still seemed pleased with his birthday, as it was mainly filled with baseball, trains, and cake. Doesn’t get much better than that for him.

For breakfast, he had his favorite standard – eggs and toast. But it’s so much more fun when you turn your toast into a ballfield and use eggs for the bases.

Later he opened some presents.

Nora had a hard time understanding that the presents weren’t for her. She did her best to sneak in some unwrapping help whenever she could.

Both kids were very excited to see new Thomas tracks and trains, and Jonah has been a good big brother, letting her play along with his special toys, too.

He got a few baseball-related gifts as well – a Phillies lunch bag for school and some batting gloves from Nora. He looooves his batting gloves and even wants to sleep with them on.  Funny boy.

I quickly realized that I was not going to get a cake baked after getting home so late the night before, but I did add a baseball field to a delicious chocolate cake from the store. And what pitcher’s mound is complete without those two marks for a rosin bag and cleat cleaner? Really.

And Jonah gets in a little sneak of the frosting while Dad serves the cake. ;)
