Sam and Max turn four

Sam and Max's birthday weekend was very busy. On Saturday we had a party for our friends and their kids at a place that is basically a big indoor playground. It was really convenient, the kids had a lot of fun, and we left without having to do any cleaning.

Many friends enjoy the party

The fruit and pizza was a hit

It's singing time!

Here's a video of everyone singing:

I didn't take any photos of it, but the indoor play structure is massive and the kids of various ages had a great time playing in there. We waited until we got home to open some of the too-many presents the boys received for their birthday.

At home there are many gifts to open

On Sunday (their actual birthday) we had a smaller, calmer celebration at Grandma's house. Unfortunately Uncle Ed and his family weren't able to attend this year, but to be honest, I enjoyed the quieter environment after all of the previous day's chaos.
