Birthday Fun

July is known as the Birthday Parade around the Cooper home. Both Hyrum and Madison's birthdays are in July. Since we were in Utah during a good part of July we had some fun birthday celebrations there.




Madison's birthday was a few days after we got back from Utah. We started the day out with a balloon party in Madison's room.


Our dear friends came over later that morning and brought a cake over to share in our celebration.


I took Madison out to the store to pick out what she wanted for her Birthday dessert since we had cake with her friends earlier that day. She picked out Jr. Fat Boys and her own colorful candles. She was so sweet and was worried about Hyrum not being able to blow out his own candles when he had his birthday (since he was stuck with the swine flu that day). So we sang to both of the kids and had a grand old time!

Hyrum was so excited about his candles that he blew them all out before we started singing! I guess he wanted some practice! :)

Madison enthusiastically singing "Happy Birthday"- with the Hoorahs and all!
(We have a tradition in our family to sing the Danish version of Happy Birthday as well.)


Hy singing his little heart out!

Madison so happy that it is her birthday!


The kids scored big time for their birthdays! Madison got a new Princess bike and Hyrum got a tee-ball set. The kids also got many many toys from grandparents. There are too many to list. But I think their favorite that they're playing with at the moment is the train tracks and all the trains!

Happy Birthday Madison and Hyrum!!
