Birthday Party

Our tradition is to have a real birthday party every four years - so when our girls turn 4,8,12, and 16. I'm glad we decided on this. It's alot of work - next time we'll rent the swimming pool!

Our kitchen area all decorated up.


The carnival all decked out.

Here are what the games looked like. Totally homemade and simple. Kendra helped pick out the prizes.

Tickets please!

Mark juggling.

Watching our clown twist balloons.

Mark was our clown - he juggled and made balloon hats and animals.

I made a lion poster so each kiddo could have their picture taken.

Kendra was so excited to have the spotlight today.

It was too windy to have the carnival outside so we packed it into our front room!

It was fun and I think the kids had a good time.

Sisters

We have a tradition that on the day of the girls' birthday they can pick where they want to go. This year Kendra wanted to go to the aquarium. Even though I left in plenty of time to make it home for Megan's nap, they both fell asleep in the car. I thought it was so cute that I took a picture.

I love how they're holding hands.

Kendra turns 4!

Kendra through the years:

Kendra at birth - what a pretty baby!

1 year old. She has such a mischievous grin.

2 years old

3 years old - look at all that hair!

4 years old.

Kendra is such a fun little girl. She expresses exactly how she feels which make simple activities enjoyable. Her favorite thing lately is to make sister laugh in the car. It is so much fun to drive places with the two sisters in the back and watch and listen to Kendra as she does anything for a laugh. We are so glad she is ours. Happy Birthday!
