What a Party!

Claire and Chloe came to Papa and Grandma's house mid-week to spend the night with us. We had such a great time, as evidenced below.
We had not been back to their house more than 10 minutes and they had built a "nest" in their driveway and had turned into birds. They were gathering worms and berries to feed each other.




The highlight of the week was the birthday celebration for the soon to be three year old twins. The fun began early with the gift from Uncle John and Cousin Richard. This ball was a HUGE hit with all of the kids that came. Below Chloe and Claire try it out before all of the guests have arrived.






Paula is an awesome hostess and not only did all of the kids (ranging from about 12 years old down to 11 months old) have a wonderful time, the adults did as well. Below are the beautiful tables of food and birthday cakes.





Chloe and Claire are enjoying a cupcake.





Mommy Paula and Chloe, followed by the girls getting ready to blow out their candles. Grandma thought she was filming the whole birthday song but apparently had the pause button on instead. Grrrr! I don't think I will ever forget the expressions on their faces as all of the guests sang to them.
Opening presents with a little help from Mommy, and with Cousin Richard and friends Katie and Carter watching.

The party was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful sunny day and the kids ran and played and explored all around the property and the creek. Happy Birthday Claire and Chloe!


We are looking forward with great excitement to the arrival of Baby Boy this week! Pictures and details to follow next weekend.
