Happy Birthday Kara!

Kara has been asking for months when she will be four. Well, the time has finally come. Kara is 4!


She had Morgan, McKenna and Gavin Patterson (her cousins) come over. We had a pinata. They had a lot of fun and they each got several turns before Gavin finally broke it open.




Then we all went inside and played Disney Scene It. Kara opened her presents and we had cake before the pizza came for dinner. So much FUN!

After dinner we rushed over to Kara's gymnastics performance.

Grandma Larsen, Grandma and Grandpa Rogers, Jenny, and Kristy came too. Then we went home for another party! More pizza, cake and ice cream, and of course, presents!

Kara waits patiently while Mom struggles to get the Barbie out of the box. Why do they make it so difficult anyway?

Happy Birthday Kara, we love you!

Happy Birthday Kaylee!!

Ok, so I know I'm a couple weeks late but better late than never, right?

So Kaylee is the lucky girl who got three, count 'em, three birthday parties this year. On her Birthday Grandma and Grandpa Larsen came over for cake and ice cream.

Then on Saturday she had a party with her friends. There were 11 screaming girls (okay 10 girls and Gavin) running around the house for two hours. YIKES!! Fortunately Andrew slept through most of it and Jenny came to help me. I don't know what would have happened without her. Oh, all the pictures are courtesy of Jenny (she filled my entire memory card!) They made bracelets,

played musical butterflies,

and wrapped each other in toilet paper "cocoons".
They all had a great time.

Then on Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Rogers house to celebrate a lot of birthdays. Kaylee, Danny, Grandpa Rogers, and Great Grandpa Rogers. So many birthdays and so much fun! BUT, we will never again invite so many kids to a party.
