Austin and Hannah's Party

For Austin's birthday, Steve and I took him on a "date" with just Mom and Dad - no little people allowed. He has been wanting to go to HuHot for a very long time, so that was what we decided to do on our time out. I forgot my camera (how?? I do not know!), so I don't have any pictures of that besides what is on my phone and those are just bad. You'll have to take my word for it that we had a great time and really enjoyed our time together with just the three of us!

Hannah's birthday fell on a Wednesday, so she got a little celebration with just the family. She loved her cake that I made her and had fun listening to us sing to her!

We had Austin and Hannah's party at home and everyone had a lot of fun!

Hannah is all smiles!

OK...I'm done with the pictures now, Mom! My birthday "babies" (not so much) together

(Austin didn't want a picture alone - how typical!)

Aidan is all honked off because he didn't get his picture taken with Austin and Hannah - the first time!

One of my favorite pictures of the whole day -

Birthday Party!

The boys had a great time at their birthday! They were so fun to watch dig into their cakes. Noah dove head-first into it and ate his way out. He ate almost half of his little cake! Ethan started by trying to be neat, but quickly caught on to how Noah was eating and joined him! Nathanial was still ever the neat eater, daintily picking each piece off bit by bit, but was still filthy by the time he was finished! We have videos on the dropshots page, if you want to see them.
