the girls' birthday party

 Kella and Kinley shared a birthday party this year.  We had family over to help us celebrate.  I didn't get a ton of pictures, but here are some.  I think everyone had a nice day.  It was definitely nice seeing everyone and especially having cousins over to play with.  Our kids really liked that part of the day.  Kinley did okay.  She only had to be removed from all the commotion twice.  A bottle at one point and a bath later on, calmed her down enough so she could rejoin the group.  I'm pretty sure, though, that Kinley was in bed before we had Kella's birthday cake.  

The day started with soccer games for Cale, Ewan and Liam.  Everyone went, including Grammy Pammy, Maddie and Abbie who had come over for a weekend visit.  I came home from work, took a nap, got up, straightened up the house a bit and decorated the girls' cakes

Everyone arrived/came home and the chaos/fun began.  Andy grilled out for us on his new grill/graduation present.  He made some corn-on-the-cob wrapped in bacon.  Pretty good stuff.

Kinley went to take a nap and then we had Kella's birthday time.





She's a princess and she's three!

hanging out, watching the present opening commotion.

Liam was all over helping Kella open her presents.


After Kella opened presents, the cousins all headed off to the park.  They had some awesome play time there and came back looking very warm.  And ready for more cake.

Time for a family photo requested by Grammy Linda


Kinley's birthday time (aka: cake, part 2)




I think she likes it!

Kinley wasn't super excited about opening presents.  Don't worry, Liam stepped in again to help.


Just a little bit of sandbox fun.  The kids made a mountain/volcano that they could pour water into and the water would come out a drain at the base.


A fun, exciting day.  A great way to celebrate our girls' birthdays.
