My winter gets very busy around Christmas time because of all of our three winter birthdays within two weeks. I am so glad that we are done with most of it. It has been fun and rewarding, but it is a relief to have it over and done with. I will give a quick rundown of each event and then pictures.
Caio asked for a pirate cake for his birthday. So I made pirate cupcakes and invited four cousins and one friend over to eat them and watch a pirate movie (Muppets’ Treasure Island). I also made each kid a newspaper pirate sword and hat. They all LOVED it, and I was SUPER happy for my boy. He also wanted to see the lights at Temple Square because of how much he loves Christmas lights. It was fun for both of the kids. We didn’t take any pictures this year, but you can see some very beautiful panoramic shots here.
Marcio wanted to visit the Hill Airforce Base Museum in Roy, Utah. He had never been before and if I ever did it was before I was old enough to remember it. We found out they have the most AWESOME kids area where the kids are allowed to dress in child-sized pilot uniforms and helmets/hats (Caio chose to sport a N.A.S.A. jumpsuit and a white helmet with an orange visor) and they can pose in front of a huge backdrop of a moon landing. They have flight simulators in realistic looking cockpits and tons of other kid friendly toys and activities. It was awesome just for the kids’ section, but the rest of the museum was great too. We told the kids that we are definitely going back soon (maybe between Christmas and New Year’s Eve ;-D).
Finally, we had family over Saturday night to celebrate all three birthdays with cake and ice cream. The kids had so much fun opening their presents and Caio and his cousin, Nani, were so cute posing in his new tool vest/belt getup that he got from his grandma that I wanted to share the pics.
Thanks for reading.
Merry Christmas!
