PARTY! Games, Balloons, and Cupcakes, oh my!

We had a great birthday celebration with the girls on Sunday with their closest friends and family. They played games like big kids! It's amazing how many pics we have for such a short party :)

Tina's famous Grover and Elmo cupcakes - whoa!

Ama and Caroline get ready to play a game!

Noah and Alexa outside

Macie swipes Max's cool flame shoes while he's not looking - looks great with her dress :)

Game Number 1 - Throw the ball in Grover's mouth! Turned out to be more like "Walk up to Grover and drop the ball in his mouth" but all the kids liked it :)

Daco explains to Caroline how to improve her aim.

The grown-ups were too busy chatting to play....

"Come on, Max!" Macie says... UH OH! Grover's eating Max!
Game Number 2 - Pin the Nose on Elmo! Jon, Macie, and Noah work together to get it right!

Oops! Somebody pinned the nose on GABE!







The moment they've all been waiting for - CUPCAKES!

Macie and Grover

Caroline and Elmo
Let me try the red....
Hands!

Caroline opens a baby doll stroller from Mimi and Papa and can't contain her excitement! By the way, she's sporting her new Strawberry hat from Lindsay


Macie, in her Olallie Berry Hat!

Shooting hoops, a great gift from Ama and Daco!


Whew! I'm tired, let's eat! M and C with their momma - in new dresses after the cupcakes!
The family gathered round - Jon, Brock, Lindsay, Macie, Sarah, Caroline, cheryl, Tony, Daco, and Ama - - A great way to end a great day. Happy Birthday, girls!!!! (***Gabe is missing from this picture but was a huge help in the birthday festivities!)

Birthday DAY!

Waffles with Candles?! M and C did a great job practicing blowing out the candles to get them ready for later....

We took a trip down to Magnuson Park to play in the sunshine... Brock and Caroline ride the see-saw

" Too sunny out!" is a phrase I've heard a lot this month - good thing the girls have hilarious sunglasses....

"Yeah, well, we're two today and, it's pretty cool...."

Uncle Brock and Lindsay come visit!

Hey Caroline, do you think Uncle Brock is here yet? I reall hope he gets here soon! Do you think he'll like our turtle hats?

Taking Brock and Lindsay to Pike's Place - Macie's favorite Monk Fish

Lunch at the market - they had bacon sausage, so we had to stop here and eat!

Tutus!

Practicing being big girls....

Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks! After an AWESOME day with Daco in Bellingham, the girls spent last week getting ready for their big birthday and for Uncle Brock and Lindsay's visit. Here are some pics of them sharing (and not) and playing dress-up (notice how Caroline has THREE tutus on :)!

Caroline, did you put all those pretties on yourself?!

Wings!
