Happy 5th Birthday Chris & Izzy

Monday was a big day in the Shuart household- Christian and Isabelle turned 5! It's really hard to believe that it has been 5 years since the little blessings arrived. To celebrate the day we all took the day off work and school and headed to Chuck E Cheese's, a family fave. Both grandmas, Aunt Becky, and some of their fave cousins- Ben, Sophie, Leah, Alivia, and Connor joined us there for a fun birthday celebration. It was a fun filled day of pizza, ice cream cake, gifts, games, and family. Here's a group shot of the kids with Chuck E and one of Brian and Izzy B in the ticket blaster (a ton of fun if you ever get a chance to try it!).

A cute side story-

We decided to let Carson pick out his own gifts for the twins this year. The day we were going to go shopping for them Isabelle and Carson got into an argument and Carson told her "If you don't start being nice to me I'm going to buy you a doll for your birthday." Needless to say, Izzy started crying and yelling "No you won't because then I'll buy you a doll." They must have made up because here my little 'princess' is all smiles with the gift her baby bro picked out.

Little Chubbs Gets a Haircut

Carson has been in desperate need of a haircut for a couple weeks now but his long blonde curly locks are just so adorable that they are hard to cut. We decided on Saturday that it was finally time to bite the bullet. The poor kid could hardly fit his spiderman mask on over top of all that hair. Being the little diva he is, we asked him what kind of haircut he would like and his response was "I want a buzzhawk". I have no clue what he was referencing as a buzzhawk but all I could picture was David Beckham and P Diddy circa 2006 with a buzzed head and small strip of hair down the center. That wasn't quite an option (although I'm sure he could rock it since he's cute enough to rock any hairdo). In the end he decided that he would surprise me and he and Brian went on their way. He returned looking as cute as ever. Here's the before and afters.
