We had Claire’s birthday party this weekend in combination with her cousins Nora (4) and Kyle (9). It was a total BLAST. We did it at the local elementary school playground. Other than a confrontation with a somewhat snooooty Granger mom who called dibs on the pavillion even though we had a permit (MB kicked her out), it was a wonderful time. There were 2 playgrounds, basketball courts and a big field to play football. The kids played and played and played and the adults sat under the pavillion and socialized. It was such a great time!!
aaaah pictures…just a few. MB took these — I’ll put mine later.
Birthday loot for 3 kids

The birthday kids
Incidentally, thanks Em for the idea of the Snap & Style dolls . Claire LOVES the one she got as a present. She named her Gabrielle (although she prounounces it Grabbyelle) and told me that I needed to go get Gabrielle a friend to play with at the store. (Uncle Tom’s gift of a target gift card will go to that!)
Madeline however did not enjoy the day too much seeing as we discovered she has a double ear infection. She was SOOOOOO cranky all weekend and that is why…. poor baby! I hope it’s not a sign of things to come (a la Claire ear tubes).

Looks like Claire had a great time! What beautiful weather!!! Did you make her cake?!?!? Georgous! See, it’s the little things like her cake that make me want to try one more time for a girl. I guess I should have this little boy before saying things like that…huh?!?!? LOL!! Here’s hoping the weather is just as beautiful for Jacob’s party this weekend! Hope all is well!

That birthday cake is SO CUTE! What a neat idea. That is a ton of presents…lucky kids!
I’m glad everyone had a great time
Minus the ear infection, no fun.
