We're Gonna Have a Party

  A Happy Birthday Party!
We are absolutely blessed to be part of such a wonderful family who always make our parties so fun.

This was the first year that they each wanted something different 

or maybe the first year they were given that choice.

Julianna wanted an Ariel party and Christian wanted Lightning McQueen (at least they're both red).

We started the morning at Party City to blow up 30 balloons.  Then we stuck three kids in the van and all 30 balloons.  So much fun in the back while Daddy drove.
Our van definitely has a maximum capacity of 30 balloons.

Saying Hi to Grammy!

Christian was embarrassed this year and hid during the singing.

But he popped up after to blow out his candles really fast.

 Lots and lots of wonderful gifts. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

These are some truly lucky kids!

"Are We Five Now?"

Yes, my loves...you are!  We can't believe it either.

Since Daddy was going to be out of town we went to dinner Saturday night at the restaurant of their choice - Lupe Tortilla and then opened a present.

We went out to water the plants first and Emerson soaked Christian with the hose therefore he is shirtless.  I'm not sure why Emerson is pantless though.

And one more present on Sunday.

Birthday hat and ribbons at school.

They wanted a Chick-Fil-A picnic today complete with a strawberry milkshake and mini cupcakes.

 And they got to open their presents from Aunt Missy and cards from Grammy and Grandpa. 
Thank you Bella and Lydia!  They loved everything!

Happy, Happy Birthday!
