Birthday season is here! For the Gimenez family the majority of our birthdays fall in the first half of the year. So we stay pretty busy celebrating!
First up was Silas. This guy turned 16 this year🙂 I can't believe it's been that long! Especially since we announced that we were expecting him on this blog.
He had been planning his birthday "cake" for a long time. He wanted a pecan pie without the pecans. Is there such a thing? So I did my homemade pie crust and then the filling for the pie and poured it in without adding any pecans.
And the result? I don't think I'd try that again!🙂🙂
Next up is Patrick. This year he's celebrating 50 years! We had to celebrate his birthday a day early because we had a trip to SeaWorld planned 🙂 He enjoyed a chocolate mousse cake surrounded by his children and grandchildren. He loved every moment!
Then it was off to Orlando! We arrived and went to Disney Springs. I still can't believe it's free to get in there! We enjoyed walking around and looking at the shops.
Then we had some delicious fish and chips. Except for Silas. He had a chicken sandwich 🙂
It was such a fun evening! It was chilly and the lights were still up from Christmas and it was beautiful!
The next day was even chillier and windy as we headed into SeaWorld.
We rode a bunch of roller coasters,

And saw a bunch of shows!
It was a chilly day but it warmed up beautifully.
And I think the trick to small crowds and short lines is going to SeaWorld in January when it's really cold🙂
It was so fun🙂
And I pretty much lost my voice for the entire next week!
Family time really is the best time!
We got SeaWorld Annual passes for super cheap on Black Friday. My kids absolutely loved Penguin Trek. Our immediately family has birthdays in August, September, October, Nov x2, Christmas in Dec, Jan, and Feb x 2. We are almost out of birthday season. I’ve enjoyed your blog for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the birthday boys! Please save me a piece of the chocolate mousse cake, lol. I'm curious as to why it is free to get into Disney World? Is it also free to get on the rides or is that a separate cost item? It looks like everyone had fun.
