Happy Birthday!

It was William and Sophia's birthday last week.  We celebrated by going to Jungle Jim's and then having family over for cake and ice cream in the evening.  We've started a new tradition of breakfast in bed and the kids love it!

Here's a list of some of William's favorite things:
1.  Star Wars.  It's his latest obsession and he received a red light saber for his birthday.
2.  Dogs.  He really wishes we could own a puppy.  Maybe someday, if his sister outgrows her allergy and I can tolerate cleaning up after one more being.
3.  Mac and cheese.  It's his favorite food, so I made it for him for his birthday dinner.
4.  Getting a back scratch.  He's constantly lifting up his shirt and asking me to scratch it.
5.  Anything with a ball.  He loves soccer, football, golf, tennis, and baseball.

Sophia's favorite things:
1.  Barbies and Disney princesses.  She got her 1st real Barbie for her birthday and she loves it.
2.  Cats.  She's allergic to them and I despise them, so a real one is NOT in her future.
3.  Most fruits and vegetables.  She's by far my most adventurous eater.  She loves to try new things and commonly asks to snack on a fruit or vegetable.
4.  Art.  She received an easel for her birthday and has loved creating new masterpieces.
5.  Flips.  She just started gymnastics at Flips a couple of months ago and she really has a great time.

I've never seen any baby pictures of them before - it's amazing to me that they haven't changed much. I mean, sure they are older, but you know how some people don't look much like their baby pictures? But they totally do - especially Sophia!

How fun to do breakfast in bed. Maybe we'll have to borrow that tradition!

They are darling! 5 years old is so fun. Does Sophia have one of those "Fur Real" cats? They're pretty life-like--better than the real thing, in my opinion!
