{Colonial} Williamsburg, VA

Scott surprised us a few weeks ago with a little weekend get-a-way...my choice of location!  I had always heard that Williamsburg, VA was one of the top spots to go for families!  So we decided on it!  We had  a great time despite the weather (cold & rainy)!  We were able to walk around the College of William & Mary and Historic Williamsburg while it wasn't raining and eat at a really great restaurant!

We had to make a stop for some puddle fun! 

After a nice lunch we visited the cutest candy shop!

After walking around we had to make a pit stop at the Urgent Care!  Bexley had come down with some "pink eye-like" symtoms!  Yikes!  Luckily, it wasn't and she was in a great mood!

We then checked in to the hotel for some inside fun!

 Then headed out to the aquarium/museum by the bay!  Super fun!

All in all it was a fun weekend!  We'll defiantly have to go back this summer when they have all the festivities with the colonial reenactments!  Hopefully then it won't be cold and rainy!

{Holy Birthday} Batman!

...and a Batman Party it was!  Call us crazy, but we had 10 children, mostly boys running around our house for Camden's 5th birthday!  Camden had so much fun running around and screaming with his friends!  As loud as it was, I have to say...we also had a great time too!  Not even 5 minutes after his friends left was Camden planning his next get-together at our house with all of his friends. "To the Batcave!"

 

One little girl just couldn't take all the partying!  Crashed right after everyone left!

{Birthday} Boy!

Well, yesterday was a HUGE day for our little boy!  Turning 5 is such a big deal! Since Bexley's birthday (in September) Camden has been planning it and inviting everyone (and I mean everyone including the ladies at Target, the mailman, and pretty much anyone he talks to)!  We had to do it up big and make birthday #5 a rememberable one!

Camden was super excited when he woke up to his room filled with balloons!  The Balloon Fairy had come overnight!!!  (For those of you who don't know the balloon fairy comes to your room on your birthday-eve while you sleep leaving you TONS of balloons in your favorite colors)!

 Then Camden choose chocolate chip pancakes with extra whip cream for his birthday breakfast!

And then it was off to school where he celebrated with a Batman Cookie Cake with friends!

After school we went to Jump Zone, a large inflatable play center!  

We saw some of our friends there!!!

We ended our day at dinner & presents with Grandma, Grandpa,

Aunt Kimberly and Uncle Nathan!

What a great day!  I'm sure our Superhero Party on Saturday will be just as fun!

{Happy 5th Birthday} Camden

Happy Birthday to our little boy who is not so little anymore!  Words cannot express our love for him!  We love how outgoing he is ~ he can make friends anywhere, his love for superheros ~ never a moment in our home where we aren't pretending we are Batman, Robin, Joker or Penguin,  and how there is never a minute when he is not talking from the time he wakes up til the time he goes to bed...even sometimes in his sleep!  We are so proud of our little Camden!

{Our Little} Sick Girl

This weekend Bexley was sick with something...we don't know what, but it wasn't fun!  We snapped this pic of Camden trying to make her feel better!  Don't you always feel better when your sick if someone lays directly on top of you?!?
