Happy 2nd Birthday! (part 1)

Happy Birthday Winston!
Happy Birthday Wesley!
Happy Birthday Charlie!

The celebrations began last night, as we brought the boys out to dinner (Wild Willy's, of course). Winston had developed a high fever (102 degrees) last Wednesday afternoon, which lasted about 24 hours. We thought we were in the clear for Wes and Charlie, but as we sat at dinner Friday night, we noticed Charlie was really fussy and refused to eat. We took his temperature when we got home and it too was over 102. I spent Friday baking about 70 cupcakes and preparing for a big birthday party for the boy, so we decided that if one boy was sick, we would still have the party. If two were sick, we would cancel. And this morning, Wesley developed a fever (that just kept getting higher and higher throughout the day - hitting nearly 104!) So we canceled their big birthday party.

But it was a blessing in disguise. Instead of a big party, we got to enjoy time with just the boys and celebrate them. Their fevers left them lethargic, but they still managed to enjoy their birthday treats!

We started the day with a family breakfast (eggs, toast and sausage) and opened gifts from Auntie Ellie, Uncle Kev, Owen and Lucy. The boys didn't stop playing with the trains all day! Aunt Lizzie and her boyfriend Santosh later brought more trains for the boys to play with - they are in train heaven.

Our coffee table made a great train table. Win was so excited to watch the train go down the hill.

Win also is a big fan of cameras.

Snacktime: The boys enjoyed yummy cookies sent from Lala, Bias, cousin Liam, Aunt Traci, Uncle Bruce, cousins Ann, Abby and Brett.
They each chose their own cookie
