Happy 4th Birthday!

Davis and Blair turned 4 while we were in Uruguay. We had a party for them with our extended family before we left, but they knew it wasn't their actual birthday. We kept a couple of presents for each of them and took them to Uruguay to open on their birthday.

After a delicious breakfast of pastries we went out back in the beautiful weather to open presents. They were thrilled with the gifts. It made me think about how we always do too much because just a couple of thing that weren't that big of a deal was more than enough for them to be so excited on their birthday.

Davis spent the rest of the month attacking with his first Nerf gun.

Blair was happy to get things for her baby, a swimming suit, hair stuff, and a snow suit. She was excited to bring the baby back to Utah where it could wear its snow clothes.

After lunch, we went to the ice cream shop for a birthday treat and followed it up with a trip to the beach. It was warm, but not super hot, so I told the kids we'd just wear short and play in the sand because it wasn't warm enough to go swimming. That was a mistake because they just went swimming in their clothes instead. They were so happy to play at the beach, but Davis was elated because he thought the whole reason we went to Uruguay was to go to the beach.

It turns out it is cold getting out of that water. Lucky for the kids our house was close to the beach.

I love the huge smiles my kids have in most of these pictures. We had a great day hanging out together celebrating their birthday. We couldn't have asked for anything better.
