While Grammy and Grandpa were here a few weeks ago for the twins’ birthday, we also celebrated another BIG birthday– Grammy’s 60th! The twins’ birthday falls a day after Grammy’s, and Meredith’s falls a day after Grandpa’s. Easy to remember!
Great Uncle David and Great Aunt Linda drove out from Yucca to celebrate and our entire circus had brunch at Ramos House Cafe in San Juan Capistrano.
After looking at the restaurant’s website, I was initially a little worried since it said only “well-behaved” children were welcome, but all three girls were fabulous. A lot of that probably had to do with the restaurant’s mouth-watering biscuits and honey butter, which the girls inhaled continuously throughout brunch. While the adults chatted, Amelia was busy licking her honey butter jar clean.
We were so happy Great Uncle David and Great Aunt Linda could join us to celebrate Grammy’s birthday and to meet Meredith for the first time! Meredith could definitely sense there were some fun times to be had in her future with such a fun-loving great uncle and aunt!
Meredith enjoyed being held throughout our brunch.
While the rest of the grown-ups strolled along the cute streets of San Juan Capistrano, we hung out at the park and then headed home. The girls could obviously sense that we were planning to go out to dinner that night without them because they didn’t nap and were rambunctious all afternoon. Thankfully, they went to bed early so that we could head out with Meredith and join everyone for Grandma’s birthday dinner at Bru.
It’s so special that the girls and Grammy share a birthday so close together. She’s gracious enough to not care that her birthday has been overshadowed by the twins’s birthday ever since they were born!
The girls somehow convinced Grammy that their birthday present to her would be her taking them to Build a Bear. Can’t argue with three-year-old logic.
Grandpa went as well and documented the whole procedure for me since I was at home with Meredith. 
Giving her bear a heart. 
The girls are obsessed with their bears and had a great time picking out all their accessories.
Amelia shows off her bear’s birth certificate and unsurprisingly named it “Pinkabah.” I have no clue from where that word originated, but it’s the name they give all their stuffed animals and other inanimate friends.
Thank you, Grammy and Grandpa! The girls had fun showing me their spoils when they got home– especially how the bear says, “I love you,” when you squeeze its paw. At bedtime, I always hear the bear sounds of “I love you” emanating rom the girls’ room.
They even made one for Meredith and very appropriately decided to dress her bear in a onesie.
Grammy and Grandpa’s birthday visit was short but sweet and it’s always a nice break for me whenever they are here. A few leftover pictures from the last time they came when Meredith was born:
Grammy was out and about with the twins all day every day right after Meredith was born– such a lifesaver! She took them to their classes…
Their last dance class for a while! The girls were reportedly not paying attention and were running around the dance room. Can’t say I blame them since Grammy thought the class was pretty non-imaginative for the three-year-old set. Of course, now that the girls have been out for a month, they are asking to go back!
She and Grandpa kept the girls busy at some of their favorite places, including Zoomars.
She and Grandpa even went to my Moms of Multiples Club event for me.
Enjoying lunch at Great Auntie Lynn’s after a tiring day at the park. Don’t know who needed a nap more… the twins or Grammy and Grandpa.
It’s a wonder Grammy wasn’t too exhausted from her first trip in February to come out again in March. The girls are most certainly keeping her and Grandpa young!
Happy birthday, Grammy! We love you!
Lots of love,
