Birthday Partying!

If you noticed, we didn't post yesterday (and I know you noticed...)

Well we were busy.

We were birthday partying it up!

It was the girl's cousin Evan's first birthday!

So we spent the night in Des Moines with John's parents then the next day went to the birthday party.

We have lots and lots of pictures...

Ada and Grandma

She thought it was her excersaucer and kept trying to bounce it.

It didn't work.

Sharing toys

Ada and Uncle Chris

Evan, the birthday boy

Uncle Chris rocking Evan as he was falling asleep

Grandma Roberts has an inflatable ball pit.

Like the kind you see at Chuck-e-cheeses, just smaller.

Ada enjoyed it.

Birthday Time!

Angie had great decorations!

A nice happy birthday banner here.

There was a really cool banner with a picture from every month up.

Food?

Yep, lots of food...

There was fruit

Chicken Salad

Pasta Salad

Rolls

Chips

Pudding

Cupcakes

Ice cream

Devil's food cake

There was a lot of food...

I want my presents and I want them now!!!

Grandma Roberts wanted a picture of her and Grandpa with all six of their grandkids.

Well they got it....

Grandma and Ada

Evan then dove into the presents!

Wait, those are my presents...

Evan's "helpers" were given special seating.

They thought they were being given a treat.

Well, not exactly it was more to just get them out of the way.

Ada playing with the tissue paper.

It was a big hit.

There's way to many pictures from the partying.

So check back around noon for more pictures!
