Ohhh, Sunday, September 23rd was a busy day for us. We went to Mass in the morning and then very quickly did a clean up of the house for a birthday party. We had planned to have it at the Mark Park, but the weather was cold and windy so not good for little ones.
These two beauties turned FIVE years old!
I can't believe it! FIVE YEARS OLD!
Balloonie and Balloonie's sister Balloonie were big hits.
The girls took them everywhere with them...to bed, to school, to the table for meals.
Great choice, Aunt Mauri!
Thanks, Mauri and Peter and kids for the balloons and the hairbands.
Thank you, Luke and Jessica and kids for the Barbies and...
the twin babies and bedroom set.
From Grandma and Grandpa, I think. (wow, it's been awhile since their birthday)
This adorable chef sets were from Donnie, Naomi, and Thatcher. Thanks!
Thanks John, Maria and girls!
Or was it Grandma and Grandpa!?
Ohhh man, thanks to the lovely family who gave them these!
Thanks Dirk, Twyla and kids!
From us
Ohh my the start of something awesome!
Elena costumes!!! Halloween is taken care of!
A movie about Elena to watch while all dressed up!
Now this boy, who has always waited patiently for his turn to open presents since his sisters were born, was not disappointed with his gifts.
He turned the big 1-0. What a guy he is. Such a friend to his sisters and Lego builder extraordinaire.
From Luke and Jessica and kids! Thanks.
From Thatcher! Thanks!
From us
He was with me when I bought this gun for him. It was when Toys R Us was closing just before Gianna's birthday. He had to wait all the way from March until September to get it. I actually bought almost all of the twins' gifts at that sale too.
From Peter and Mauri and family. Thanks!
From Dirk and Twyla and kids, Thanks!!
So this present was wrapped once...

Fancy unicorn plates
Brech's cake!

This is blurry, but I think it was the first genuine smiles I had seen all night. Not forced for a picture...just pure happiness!
BEAUTIFUL!
Kiara is not impressed with Papa.
Not impressed at ALL!
Lucky girls!
The better than a golden birthday picture.
Kiara plus Brigid equals Brech.
