Since I'm a little late in posting about our big days, I thought I'd group them all together and just give you a quick run-down. So here's...
Grace's Birthday--May 7, 2011
The birthday girl:
Getting the party started:
Even Baby was in the party spirit:
One of Grace's favorite dinner's right now is cheese pizza, so a pizza party it was!
Her "personal pan pizza":
When discussing with my mom what to do for Grace's birthday cake, the word "pie" came up, and Grace got really excited about it, so I decided to make her a pumpkin pie (which she LOVED at Thanksgiving and Christmas last year).
She was pretty excited about it. (This is Grace realizing that it is HER birthday :) )
The whipped cream and sprinkles were her favorite part:
After birthday pie, she opened presents. She LOVED these colored necklaces:
Some books and tapes from Grammy & Poppy:
Swim stuff:
And a new toy:
Rachel & Brandon and the kids joined us for the festivities and we loved having them celebrate with her!
A very (belated) Happy Birthday to our sweet girl! We can't believe you're already 2 (where have these last 2 years gone?!)!!
Jenny's Birthday--April 19th, 2011
Travis was a major sweetheart and blew up these balloons and put little messages inside for my "card"...
...and he got me some gorgeous long-stem roses (with another sweet little note) too. I was a happy girl :)
Since I was in prime pregnancy nausea time (and super sweet things were a no-go), Travis made me a dessert pizza for my "cake" (he let me decorate it though). And OH did it hit the spot!!
We brought it over to share with Brandon and Rachel and the kids:
Making a wish:
It was a great day!
Travis' Birthday--March 13, 2011
We invited our friends the Miskin's over for Travis' birthday dinner (of crock pot lasagna), and finished the meal with his favorite--root beer cake:
Blowing out the candles:
Afterwards, he opened up his presents--Madden NFL 11 (for the Wii) and some new (Merrill Trail Glove) running shoes--then played some Wii football with Kory.
Happy happy (belated) Birthday Travis! We love you and are SO glad you're apart of our family!!
