There aren't many people who love birthdays as much as George, which makes celebrating him especially fun!
George has been talking for a while about a Chuck E Cheese birthday party (thanks YouTube channels 😏)so we finally gave in and everyone had a great time.
The day started with breakfast in bed, followed Sissy's first soccer game, then his party later that afternoon.
Here are some pictures from the day:

George, we LOVED celebrating your big day!
You are the sweetest kid who feels everything so deeply - watching you experience your party with such enthusiasm is such a parenting joy.
Now here you are going into your 5th year and I can't wait to see your growth this year - this transitionary year from preschool into Kinder is sure to be a big one!
Here's what's new / what you're currently loving:
You love wearing suits and recently transitioned to a track suit (which is a nice break from the 3 piece you wore for almost two weeks straight!)
When you're excited to tell me something, you run up to me and say "But But But...let me tell you something!"
You still love Power Rangers but your new obsession is money - welcome to the club, my man 😉
You're OBSESSED with YouTube
We signed you up for karate last spring and you look forward to it each week
You're really good at math and I suppose I have Baldie's Basics (an extremely irritating YouTube show) to thank for it
You prefer sleeping with a nightlight so we got you a red light / green light one that you're really enjoying
And of course, no birthday post would be complete without the interview:
Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound. Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...
Just had to give a shout out to our new restaurant find! Kevin and I were driving around the Sunset Hill / Blue Ridge neighborhoods last weekend and came upon this little Mexican restaurant. A very unassuming place...small brick building near the corner of NW 85th & 30th Ave (right next to the north entrance of Golden Garden's and Shilshole Bay Marina). We finally got around to checking it out late last week, and oh boy, have we been missing out!! Now, any of you who know me, know I'm a self proclaimed Mexican food connoisseur...and by connoisseur, I mean boarder line obsessive. I love all things Mexican cuisine...especially melted cheese. So I should admit; their whole "authentic" label had me a bit apprehensive ...."will there be enough melted cheese on my food??" was sadly my first thought (hey, I'm pregnant...give a girl a break!) So, late last week, we wandered in, found a nice table by the window, ordered t...
Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day. This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love. Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day. Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ). You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...
