birthday extravaganza

Jane turned four on October 6. The kids' party was on the 7th, my birthday was on the 8th and Malcolm turned two on the 9th. That day was a Saturday so Nana, Grandpa and Grammy came to celebrate. (Oh, and Nana's birthday is on the 12th, so she got presents too!) I decided to put everything in one post.

birthday outfits



make a wish!







We met some friends at the playground for the party. I have to credit Angie for this idea... it was brilliant! Luckily after days of rain the clouds went away and it was beautiful out.
