The End of Our Birthday Season

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET LANA DARLIN'!



Lana's birthday was last week, and she had a lot of help opening her presents, of course. Do you think she was excited to get some roller-blades? She has been dying for some ever since she saw Rylee's. Now they have matching ones and will have so much fun outside together as soon as it warms up just a little.


This girl is so funny. She LOVES candy like no other child I know. She was almost more excited to get a treat than she was to get her roller-blades. :)




After school, we took the kids and one of Lana's little friends from school to Chuck-E-Cheese. That was what Lana wanted most to do on her birthday. So I consented to take them to the germ-fest.
And, yes, those are pajamas that Rylee and Lana are wearing. It was pajama day at school, so I didn't make them change. Lana loved having some new PJ's to wear to school on her birthday. I think they are enjoying themselves; what do you think?


Sheesh, why take them to a real amusement park when we get the same reaction on a single-token-ride? Definitely much cheaper than an amusement park.:)

It's always fun when Grandma comes along to party with us!


Hayden ran a million miles a minute in that place. It was so hard to keep up with him.



Just so you know, Kate put her outfit together. She is going through that lovely phase. It isn't worth a fight. She still looks cute though. Giddy up!


They all stopped playing for about two seconds to eat pizza.


I have decided that the next time we go to Chuck-E-Cheese, we will not be eating there. It isn't worth buying the food because all the kids want to do is play.


After dinner (if you want to call it that), we went back home for cake and ice cream. What a cute birthday girl.


Lana with the whole gang. She couldn't wait to dig into her cake.


Happy birthday, Lana. You are such a sweet girl who is always trying to help and do what is right. Your giggle makes us all laugh, and you are so much fun to be around. We love you so much, sweetie!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL!!!

It was also Bill's birthday last week. Now he is as old as I am! And you better believe I won't let him forget it!

He had lots of help opening presents too. In fact, he didn't open a single one. Kate took care of that for him.



See, he is looking at one of the gifts I gave him while Kate works on opening the next gift.



That evening, my mom and Sara came over to celebrate and have yummy ice cream cake. It's a good thing I didn't put 31 candles on the cake. It would have melted. :)


Happy Birthday, Honey! We love you!

Ok, I'm loving Lana's expression on the "ride!" That's awesome! And I don't know what to say about Kate, except she may be the next Vera Wang! Lana's cake turned out darling, you never cease to amaze me with what you come up with!

So sweet! Love the cake! Should I copy that one too (smile!) Jeffery actually wants me to do the same one I made for Lyssa except make a car out of hershey bars. I can do anything right??? I wish ya'll were here so we could all skate together! Except I like to wear the old school kind. I got rid of my roller blades and just use the regular ones from back in the day. Lana is soooooooooooo cute! What was the other candy (not the lifesavers the other one??) You look so much like your mom! She looks so fun like you too! Love and miss ya!
