It was Nana’s birthday, and the Taylor gang came down for the occasion! Yay!
We made letters to create a cool “Happy Birthday” sign.
And we made birthday cupcakes.
And then Nana arrived and we celebrated her latest trip around the sun! Happy birthday, Nana!
Kenji and I celebrated my 10th birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge!!!
There was so much to do there. First, we hit the arcade.
Then we went into the Moonstone Mine and discovered gemstones with a sluice.
Then we went to the waterpark, OF COURSE.
And there were so many other things! A dance party, arts and crafts, gigantic desserts, glow-in-the-dark mini golf, and a magical scavenger hunt called MagiQuest.
It was so freaking fun! I can’t wait to do it again.
I’m 9 years old! Here’s my birthday morning stash.
I love the Roblox game, Build a Boat for Treasure. Nana and Papa got me a gift card to buy Robux, the game platform’s virtual currency. Here is me trying to calculate how many Robux I can buy…
…and how much gold that Robux will get me…
…and me realizing, that’s a lotta gold!
And then I immediately went to my computer to buy new pieces for my boat. Happy birthday to me!
The Queen of Comfort turned one year old today! I love you, Sunnie!
For my birthday, I skipped school and went to Bricks and Minifigs! I had fun building minifigs from the bulk legs, torsos, and heads. And all of their hand sanitizers were in giant Lego bricks!
Then on Daddy’s lunch break, I opened presents!
I experimented with my new dip pen and ink.
And did some of the custom word searches. Thanks to everyone for the gifts. It was a fun pandemic birthday!
I am 7 years old! I spent the day playing at home.
Mommy made this drawing to commemorate my seven trips around the sun.
And here is a video of me playing with some of my new toys. Thanks, everyone, for the gifts!
We celebrated my 6th birthday in Los Angeles with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah. But I was still sick! So we had a nice, low-key celebration.
First, on the way to breakfast, we drove on CA-90 just like I wanted to. It was the road I was most excited for!
Then, back at the apartment we’re staying at, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah hid my birthday presents and I went on a search for them.
And I found one!
And I found the other one! Thank you for the gifts, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sarah!
Then it was time to rest because I was pooped.
But a birthday wouldn’t be a birthday without a celebratory cake. As requested, I had three candles. (I never want the candles to match my age. It’s just a thing.)
Grandma and Grandpa are here visiting to celebrate my birthday. First, we went to Powell’s book store where I got a book about, duh, airplanes. After going out to lunch and driving the hills of Portland, we came home and I got birthday celebration #2! Grandma and Grandpa got me a cool car puzzle and my very own camera. I was taking pictures all over the place!
I turned four years old yesterday! I decorated my own birthday pie, got a whole bunch of airplanes, and got to stay in my pajamas all day!
Wow! What a weekend. I said goodbye to Nana, Papa, Grandma, and Grandpa yesterday. I had lots of fun, played with lots of cars, and consumed lots of sugar. Thank you for coming to celebrate with me!
