Birthdays!

This past weekend we got to go up to Chicago to see family and celebrate our niece's birthday! We left Friday noon and got to eat dinner with Kevin, Melissa, and kids before we took them to their school fun fair for the evening. We had fun playing games and winning prizes! On Saturday we got to go with Melissa and the kids to Home Depot to do the free kid's project they do on the first Saturday of each month. This time it was a bird house rain gauge. Here is Andrew working with Rebecca.

And Melissa and Luke with his final project.

We had so much fun and they all did a great job:)

Thanks Kevin and Melissa for letting us stay with you! We enjoyed spending time with you:)

On Saturday afternoon we went to Zach and Annika's for lunch and to see their remodeled basement. It looked great! Then we were off to Kathryn's 1st birthday party at Monkey Joe's. It was neat because we got our own party room and the kids could just go out and play. Here is Andrew in the birthday seat.

After the kids played a while we had pizza, cupcakes, and opened gifts. Here is Kathryn digging in:)

It was a fun birthday party and we were so happy we could make it! We love you Kathryn!

A couple weekends ago we got to celebrate another niece's birthday. Kate turned 2! We all went over to Aaron and Nichole's to eat dinner and celebrate. Here is a picture of Mackenzie and I before the party.

The Musselman family... so beautiful!
Singing to Kate with her Elmo cake... she love it!
Opening gifts. It was so adorable because she would get so excited about each gift even if it wasn't a toy:)
Here she is with Uncle Brock in her new clothes (they are layered... she wanted it that way:)
Thanks for the fun birthday party Kate and your cute personality! We love you!
