Birthday glee...........multiplied by THREE!

So, I can assure you all, it wasn't some grand scheme I had, this three birthdays on the same day deal, but it certainly is proving to be an interesting dynamic. I cannot believe the work, chaos, and fun that results from this three in one celebration! And this was after I decided to "keep it simple." I just thought you might enjoy a few pictures of the birthday that almost never ended!

We began with birthday candles in Olivia's favorite breakfast. The twins finally learned to blow out a candle, so this was the most joyful part of their morning!
Then, we had some morning gifts, quickly, before we had to get ready for church!


Grandma Bonnie and Papa surprised Olivia with a Breyer truck and trailer combo with some fun horses to tow around. Olivia is really into horses, and is super excited for her very own horse, Sweetheart, who lives in Utah to have a baby next Spring.

My three darling children ready for church in their new birthday outfits! It is my greatest struggle to get a photo where they are all looking up and looking somewhat happy!
Drumroll............the cake, which was Olivia's special request. It's a Candyland cake, with enough candy on TOP of the frosting to make any kid sick! But, birthdays only come once a year, right?Blowing out the candles! Of course, the twins were blowing them as quickly as we could light them, so that was challenging. Olivia blew her seven and they each got to blow out two....... several times!
It was a happy day...........and the best part? I am DONE with birthdays until next year!
