Isabelle's Birthday Weekend

For Isabelle's birthday weekend we went to Nana and Papa's house and the rest of the family came to celebrate too!

Alaina's birthday is 2 days earlier than Isabelle's, so we celebrated hers too.

Deep breath for blowing candles out

Daddy, Isabelle and Uncle James

Flying high!

Amelia kind of jumped the gun, by adding a spoon to Lainey's cake

Cousin hugs!

Alaina opening gifts

Auntie Awesome showing Isabelle some awesomeness via strawberries!

A huge game of peek-a-boo with all the big cousins and Papa

Amelia peekin' out a little early

The big reveal!!  Soo much love for Papa!

A classic Alaina hug and fun with Paige

Amelia's turn to fly high!

Papa's redneck truck - enhanced with Paige driving and Amelia in the back holding the make-up caboodle

Aunt Jenna and baby Cate.  The day we left, Amelia declared to me:  "Aunt Jenna lubs me and she wants to give me LOTS of hugs!!"

Cake Round 2!  Anxiously waiting.

Paige's birthday is early May and since we were all together - it makes sense to give some birthday love to her too! 

Isabelle climbing in the redneck truck!

Papa with Olivia, Amelia and Alaina

Unkie with Baby Cate

Cate has some natural spiky hair so Papa decided to enhance it just a little bit more.

Some tummy time - this girl is strong!

Paige and Alaina playing with Isabelle in the kitchen

For about a skinny minute it was nice out, so the girls quickly took advantage

Olivia on the trike

Alaina and Papa swinging

Baby Cate sleeping.....so peaceful!

Since getting home Amelia has told Patrick and I that she wants to move to Iowa so she can live with her cousins!  I love how even at 2.5 years old, this girl has such a strong bond with her cousins - so much so she wants to move to Iowa just to be near them!
