We no sooner finished our Christmas celebrations, and we moved right into birthday mode. It really began with Freya's birthday the day their family arrived in Kansas, but as usual, I didn't think to get my camera. Westin turned 1 year old December 28 and he had a lot of family to help celebrate.
Yum...chocolate cake to celebrate the big birthday. Westin wasn't lacking help in opening his birthday gifts. Everything was checked out to make sure there were no defective toys!
I included the next three pictures for a particular reason. What are the chances that out of nine grandchildren, that three are left- handed. So here is Max, then Tyler, then Lena!
A couple of days later, we were celebrating Miss Emmy's first birthday. I have never, ever used red icing on a birthday cake, but Freya found bargains galore with after-Christmas deals, so we made use of the bright red icing :)
Even though Rebecca has a little boy of her own, the kids still ask for her to sit with them.....you know....she is just their age!
This picture speaks volumes. Tyler - "I really don't want to do this." Westin - "I want my Mommy!" Kayla - "I don't have room." Emmy - "Hold on to me, Max; I'm slipping!" It's a hoot to get a group picture.
Here were the mothers preparing plates of food for the kiddos. It was such mild weather that I actually grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for the evening meal.
Westin was getting introduced to the wonders of a purple popsicle. He
thought he liked it, but had a hard time deciding.
Freya just partied too hard. For whatever reason, in the process of getting the kids ready for bed, she ran into the wall and put a pretty good size knot on her forehead. It hurt enough she was ready to put some ice on it.
