Birthday Highlights..

Last Saturday we celebrated Kennedy's "golden" 4th birthday and Kolter's 1st. I think the 4th b-day is the most exciting because Kennedy couldn't wait for her special day. I think she woke at least twice the night before the party, rushing into our room during the middle of the night to ask if it was morning yet. Needless to say finding and opening her presents was the first thing she wanted to do when morning finally did come. After opening her gifts she exclaimed that this was the best birthday ever. It was super cute. She was also excited that in a few hours later we'd be having a family party which of course meant more presents.
Our little princess happily awaiting to open her gifts.
A little later in the day all dressed up for the party..

The almost 1 b-day boy enjoying some balloons.


Present Time..
The sun was kind of a bummer at this particular moment.
More presents..
Kolter loving his car!
Opening his presents.
The kids opened most so I think this was the one and only that he opened, with the help of dad of course, on his own. It's so much fun having a big sister and brother that like to take over.
The paper matched his shirt. Boy Auntie Jill is a planner.
Kidding.. it was a total coincidence.
The big helpers right in there..
After presents we played a little pin the tail on the donkey..
The kids enjoyed!

A quick pic of the b-day kids with grandma and grandpa great.
Cake Time...
I felt a tad bad that Kolter didn't get a special theme b-day, like the other kids did when they turned one, but I figure he doesn't know any different and cake is cake, right? One of the joys of being baby#3. They kind of get jipped. We love you just as much though, buddy.
Mmm -Mmm Good!






As if that wasn't enough grandpa Randy and grandma Debbie came over today for even more celebrating. They were very excited for more presents and to see g-ma and g-pa, of course.
Very much loving the teeter-totter..
Kolter, too.
Overall it was a great Birthday week!!
It's still hard to believe that our baby girl is 4 already and our baby boy is 1. My how time flies. We thank God for these kids and for giving us the time we've had with them thus far. Here's to many more birthday's in the years to come.

Happy Birthday Kennedy & Kolter! Looks like a fun time!! Elise is spoiled rotten. She's the third, but she got a bigger to-do than the other two. haha. I was a week away from giving birth to Avery and on restriction for Isabella's party. And poor Ave, we had a blizzard for his party.
