McLove-ly Birthdays

 The McDonald kids - two of our favorite little people - had birthdays recently; Avery turned 4 and Liam turned 1.

 All the kids wore their Halloween costumes to Avery's party.
The loved the donut on a string game







 The pinata was hilarious; Shellie made it herself, and it was indestructible!
 All these kiddos (plus a few more) each got two turns without any luck.
No, Cailyn is not wearing her costume here...she fell asleep in the car on the way and slept through the first half of the party. She changed later...
 So it was Hailey Hermione who came to the rescue and finally finished it off.
 
 Love these sailors (:




The next weekend Liam had a joint 1st birthday party at the beach with his cousin, Nixon.



(Can you tell I've been having fun playing with not only my camera, but also starting to dabble in photoshop?)

Liam LOVED the quilt that Allison made for him. He crawled back and forth all over it like it was a play mat, rolling around, trying to pick up the little cars, etc.






 The sunset was GORGEOUS



We are so lucky to have these sweet kiddos in our lives (:

Birthday Bonanza

 This last month has been one birthday after another around here!
At the beginning of September we went to Caden, Rylan and Ethan's Pirate Party:




 Cailyn didn't care about the cake...she was just determined to finish her entire bag of pinata candy! I had several people ask me "Are you Snow White's mom? Just thought I'd let you know she's eating all of her candy." Yes, I knew. And no, I didn't do anything about it.
 At least she shared!

 Next was Lainey's birthday. Check out Rylee's hand writing! She's not exactly an "in-the-lines" kind of person, on paper or otherwise. But her letters are starting to be recognizable and she is starting to put them all in order, not randomly all over the paper (:
Happy Birthday Lainey
 Lainey had a princess party.


 I got the fun job of taking pictures of each of the princesses in attendance.
Princess Cailyn


 Princess Jessie
 Princess Ellery

 and her brother, Prince Dane

 Princess Rylee


The tiniest of the Princesses, Ainsley

 And, last but not least, Her Royal Highness, Princess Lainey

Every Princess has to have a little sass...




 The Royal Court
 The Royal Meltdown

 The Fairy Godmothers (Me and Casey)

 We made crowns,

opened presents,
 sang,
 blew out candles,
 ate cake pops,
 ate cake,
 and applied princess makeup.
 Fun party for a fun four year old!

Next up were Grandpa Mac
Happy Birthday Grandpa
Love, Rylee

 and Grandpa Dave's birthdays

 which we celebrated through cards and phone calls.

Then it was Shellie's 30th birthday. Quinn and I got to go up to her surprise birthday dinner.




And then, tonight, was Grandma Joanne's 75th birthday!
(Wow, I'm actually blogging about something that happened TODAY! Almost caught up now. Whew!)
Happy Birthday


 Keep the cake coming, please (:
