Jason was gone most of the day for his birthday riding at the sand dunes with his dad and brother. Meanwhile the boys helped me make birthday cupcakes.
Cooper left, Bennett right
After they were done riding, the big boys came back to our house for a mini-party. Per Jason's request, Marie made a lemon-lime Jello cake.
Tessa enjoys baked goods way more than the boys do. She sat contently eating her cake while everyone else moved on to presents.
The next day we headed to the Klippels house for a family dinner. We had a pasta bar. Aubrey and Jon came as well as Joel Wallin's family, and Cindy.
Cooper really wanted a green cake with sprinkles and Bennett wanted a chocolate cake. So we compromised with green frosting. They were both happy. ;)
Once again, Tessa really enjoyed the cupcake.
Susan was so sweet and had gotten each of the boys a book and coordinating stuffed animal. They now sleep with Curious George (Bennett) and Corduroy (Cooper) nightly and we read each of the books at least daily.
A few days later we received the birthday package from my mom. She gave each boy $2 and Tessa a dollar to spend at the dollar store. They were pretty stoked. They each picked out a light-up sword and a hot-wheels car. Tessa chose some necklaces.
She also had sent them vehicle building kits. Bennett got an airplane and Cooper a race car.
So Tessa wouldn't be left out she sent her a boat.
Here is a fun video Jason put together of the building process:
