Making their birthday today more special was the fact that we spent it together. Thanks to a modest three inches of snow, the federal government was closed and Patrick got to spend the day at home. Patti took Sunday night off of work so she was home (and well-rested). Will played the part of good big brother last night and today, which is something of a departure for him lately, but it was so sweet. He drew the girls a Doc McStuffins birthday card last night, he wished them a happy birthday the instant he saw them this morning, he helped them open gifts today, and he really didn't whine about the attention going elsewhere.
Grandma and Aunt Jessi's family added to the growing Doc McStuffins collection, Will got them singing/flashing Doc McStuffins microphones (love them already), there were duplos and crayons, and Patti made them dresses and baby carriers.
Stella didn't know what to make of the birthday candle pancakes this morning. She was totally up for her birthday cake later, though.
Opening presents from Grandma and Aunt Jessi's family. Lots of Doc McStuffins to add to the collection.
Homemade baby carriers - made from the sling THEY were carried in...
Birthday cake after dinner.
Pop and Mimi arrive tomorrow for round two of celebrations. And the girls' party is on Saturday with their classmates here at the house. Expect more Doc McStuffins...
