This first picture is Mohamed just trying to get his picture with the kids before they left for the party..
And we all know of my picture jealousy, so I handed him the camera so I could get a picture with the kids, too.
As soon as we got to Gabby's, she was all kisses! She loves to give hugs and kisses to everyone, especially to Emmersyn. It is soooo cute!
Before all of the guests had arrived, Amanda, Cameron, and Nicholas played a little Wii.
How cute are these two sisters?
My best attempt at capturing Grammie with the two little girls...
So, not only does Nicole put on a fabulous party and make awesome treats, but she also hands out free massages to her guests! Give me a break! Does this girl ever relax?
I lost count of how many times I had to chase Emmersyn up and down the stairs. I guess it helped to burn off some of those extra calories from all of the goodies at the party. And those chocolate marshmallow treats...yum yum!
Here is the birthday girl during her big moment...
And while Gabby was opening presents, this is where I found Emmersyn. In the toy box throwing all of the toys out of the box. I think she was trying to avoid being jealous after she saw all of the cute outfits that Gabby received!
I'm sure Nicole will fill you in on the best present from Aunt Laura and Uncle Brad... The PURSE!
Gabby found her friend after opening all of her presents and joined Emmersyn in the toy box.
How cute is Tyler? I think Tyler and Emmersyn must both be teething. (K/Crystal is cute too. I love her bangs!)
Here mom is spending hours trying to untangle Amanda's necklaces! Steve gave up probably after an hour, and then mom took over. She successfully untangled them by the time I got to the border and began my wait! Great job mom! Undoing the slinky months ago must have really helped with the necklaces!
Here I was so excited...The border booth was finally in sight. And, the inside of my car was clean!
When I got home I think I was still on a sugar high from all of the treats. I emptied the dishwasher, did a load of laundry, took out the garbage, and blogged. I need to give the kids a bath and get them to bed. Goodnight!
You are too funny! The blog made me laugh out loud. That was EXCELLENT thinking to clean the car while waiting at the border. Do you think the wipes would work on the exterior as well? I'm going make sure I have re-stocked the wipes before I come to Canada. That is such an efficient way to pass the time!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures from the party are great. I don't even need to post about the birthday. I think you covered just about everything. (The girls greeting each other with kisses, the free massages, Crystals bangs, the over abundance of sweets, the over abundace of Emmersyn climbing the stairs.) I have nothing else to tell or show.
I think you might be right about the teething deduction. Tyler and Emmersyn are right on track.
I'm glad to see you made it into the photos. I will try to do a better job myself. I have been getting some photo jealousy lately too. (No one ever wants to take my photo.... unless I have hair covering my face giving physical therapy advice!)
I can't wait to see how you will document Easter next week. Do you think you could keep a portable, battery-operated, dust buster in your car to vaccuum while you wait next week????
