Birthday Party #2

On Natalie's birthday, the Flannery crew stopped by to sing happy birthday, and we have some pictures below. But earlier in the day, Natalie also got the chance to open a couple of presents since Mom and Dad just couldn't wait :-) She spent most of the morning playing with her new dolls and taking pictures with her new camera!





That evening everyone arrived and we sat down to a nice dinner followed by some yummy birthday ice cream cake.






Then we had some play time before we started opening presents. Eric is a huge fan of balloons.




Then it was finally present time!



Everyone got a chance to play with the toys.


And Eric got to help out Mom as she tried to use the Jaws of Life to remove a toy from the packaging.


And in case anyone is wondering, Dad does actually attend these events, he's just usually behind one of the cameras. Here's some proof!


Thanks for coming over everyone!

Happy 4th Birthday Natalie!

Just a quick note to say Happy Birthday to our little girl. Happy Birthday sweetie!

Love,
Mom & Dad

Birthday party #1

The Robinson clan came down last weekend to celebrate Aunt Emily and Natalie's birthdays. It's always great to get everyone together and we had a pretty good time. Happy Birthday Aunt Emily!

We got to play a few video games together. Here's Julie and Rachel trying to make their way through the new Super Mario game.



Meanwhile, Grandpa Steve was hanging out with the kids.


We also had a yummy pretzel sandwich for dinner. Aunt Rachel was hungry :-)


Then it was time for cake and ice cream!







Then finally it was time to open presents. Eric was eager to help however he could.





And then of course there was some time to play with the new toys. The new tent was a big hit.


Eric always enjoys the balloons.


Natalie also loves her new crawling doll, now named Ellie.


She was also showing off her drawing skills and showing Aunt Emily how she can write the alphabet.



And the traditional pin the crown on Ariel game.


And she even played with Aunt Rachel and Uncle Nick.


Thanks for coming everyone!
