We're BIG on birthdays around here...
Our kids are our treasures from above and each year when their birthdays roll around we want them to know what an amazing blessing they are to us and to so many around them... So many people prayed for little Siah when he was growing in my tummy and I think of him as nothing less than God's great grace in my life that He answered our prayers and gave us such a treasure in our little boy! And eleven short months later, God blessed us way sooner than we ever could have imagined with our second treasure Hal, who lights up every room that she walks into! Their birthdays are a day of intentional celebration for us! We want everyone we know to know that the Lord HOOKED US UP with these little treasures!!!!
So we had our annual party...

So we had our annual party...
The Peeks got a bounce house last year for AJ's birthday and we were so blessed to be able to use it... If you zoom in on Siah's face you will see how stoked he is!!!!
I asked the kids what they wanted for their birthday and Siah said, "I want soda." Then Hal said, "I want tea." So we had a "Root beer float and sweet tea party," this year... But we couldn't have a party without cake and candles, so we threw some cupcakes into the mix...
They are still trying to figure out the whole "blow" your candles out thing.. As you can see Halee just kept smiling at her cupcake... Maybe she thought that if she smiled long enough and big enough her candles would just magically blow themselves out... it was so cute for me to watch her... (Just a side note: the kids ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT when people sing happy birthday to them. In fact I can sometimes hear them in the back yard taking turns singing to one another. The one that is being sung to just sits there and listens intently with a giant smile on their face soaking up every word!)
Siah finally blew his out... I ended up giving Hal a little help... :)
How cute is this little treasure???
Joey came up with a great idea and had the kids decorate their own cups before we filled them with root beer floats... It was fun... Even uncle Jason got in on the action!!!
Aunt Kristin came down with the kiddos... Cute dress Aunt Kristin!!!!
Some kiddos decorating their cups...

Hal got a helmet and a new baby for her birthday...It was a blessing of a day! I am forever grateful for each day with my treasures!!!
