3 1/2

Guess who turns 3 1/2 today!!



Happy Half Birthday to Addyson and Braden!!!




Turning 3 1/2 this year was super fun since it also happens to be Labor Day and Daddy got to hang out with us during the day!!


We celebrated with half birthday cakes after a yummy lunch of brats (Addyson kept asking me when the bras would be ready to eat. Silly girl!!), corn dip and chips, jigglers, and pasta salad.



They're not exactly Pinterest worthy cakes . . . but Addyson had fun helping me decorate. So what that we ran out of frosting and time and the crumby side didn't get frosted. Addyson did not care . . . she just told me the frosting was yummy and she was glad she got to lick the spoon . . .  and she quite possibly snitched a bunch of m & m's. And she did my hair instead. I'm slowly catching on that she just cares about the fun and not how perfect things look. She constantly asks me, "Mom, what are we gonna do for fun now?" and is sure to let me know when she "is not having a good time". I've mentioned more than a couple times that life isn't ALL about fun and that you have to do the hard stuff too. Oh well, I'm pretty sure I need a reminder to stop trying to be perfect and just stop and have FUN! So thankful for my oldest girl!




She blew her candles out like a pro. Big change since their 3rd birthday!



Braden was pretty awesome too - but Addyson was ready to help just in case. 

And there is talk about a family slumber party at our house tonight. Should be big fun!!!

You're officially 3 and a half!!! Happy, happy half birthdays to my favorite twins in the whole wide world.
