Some birthday photos!

This year the boys got dolphin balloons to go with our ocean theme since they love anything that lives in the ocean, but especially anything that looks like a shark!

They also got a play kitchen, which Andrew promptly started organizing :) 

I decorated with a large Happy Birthday banner and an ocean theme. Here I used streamers and cutouts of fish, sharks, octopus, and jelly fish to create an ocean scene. 

We had a small party with both sets of grandparents up to visit: Papa & Nonna, and Grandpa Alan and Grandma Liz. 

The boys loved opening presents!

Working together to unwrap presents!

They received lots of toys for their play kitchen, some sports toys, books, music, and a game!

They quickly figured out this fishing game and loved it!

We celebrated with dinner and a special treat- Banana Cake from Icing on the Cake in Los Gatos! This was their first taste of cake and Andrew liked the cream cheese frosting while Lucas liked the cake. :)

We spent the rest of the weekend playing with presents, taking the grandparents to see Bass Pro Shop, and enjoying lots of yummy food!
