There was also a big parade at preschool on the last day that both kids were in. They decorated their own t-shirts and since it was raining the parade was inside.
The second big celebration was Taylor's 1st Birthday!!! She had two celebrations...the first was just the five of us and since we had a bout of sickness all week we stayed in and just celebrated with a candle in a twinkie and opened some presents. Then we had a family party yesterday with all of the grandparents and Uncle Brad, Aunt Sheila and Sydney too. The kids played in the pool and sprinkler and we grilled out and of course had the traditional 1st Birthday ISU Reggie Redbird cake! Taylor had a blast and it was nice to have a party that could be outside. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful family to celebrate with! Pictures of the birthday girl:
The kids also made a trip to Chicago with Aaron and his parents for the annual American Brain Tumor Association walk/run (of course I had to stay home and work..boo). Afterwards they went and looked at the Bean.
