Party Pictures

These won't be as exciting as the post below because these are still photos mostly. But they are pictures of my lovely family.


Kyle and Sarah went to Las Vegas for his birthday with some of their friends. Sarah's mom kept Logan from Friday to Sunday afternoon. Then she was generous enough to bring her to our house for Cora's birthday. Logan had not taken an afternoon nap but was playing well. About four o'clock I asked if she wanted to go night-night?
Logan, as usual, said "Uhh." So Grandma changed her diaper and laid her down. She only napped about twenty minutes so I got her up and she was kind of in a trance. She climbed up on Grandma's lap and fell asleep. They both had a good nap.


This is party preparation at its best.

Everyone else started showing up right on schedule for 7:30.


Drew and Ashley draw Logan's attention. You can see by Drew's and Ashley's faces that Logan is charming.



Tricia isn't allowed on the furniture. Or maybe she is our "Nell". She loves playing with the girls. And Cora loves books.



Alex is growing up! Look at him sitting with the adults behaving all grown up. He is a good kid.



Logan is glad to see Mom and Dad. She gets Sarah to play with her. And Logan acts well rested. "Thanks Grandma."


Look at the joy in Cora's face! She is so enjoying her birthday party.


Cora is so impressed by our singing "Happy Birthday" to her.



She has the ever popular Elmo. (her favorite, I think)
You can see her blow out the candle on the next post.


Look at her eat cake! Marie Antoinette would be so satisfied with Cora Genevieve.
Just kidding! We know that she didn't say, "Let them eat cake."
(Somehow this is the only one of Kyle. See the top of his head at the bottom?)



It's great to sit on Mom's lap and open gifts. This is the last birthday Cora will have as an only child. In fact the last gifting. Hazel will be here by Christmas.



Look at those curls! We need to get Ashley in something besides a sports jersey. She is a pretty young lady.
She just appeared in an invitational orchestra. It was a fantastic performance. Maybe her folks can post it.

That's Logan! She is so sweet and the happiest little thing.

Logan is into the "bear chair" and rocking big. Even though it is Cora's birthday party, Logan is doing her own thing and enjoying the attention she gets.

Cora had a great birthday party--thanks again!

And I commented to Geoff in the car on the way home how good Logan had been--I couldn't have hand-picked better cousins for my kids than the ones they've got!

Also I think Tricia knows that the floor seats are the best ones for adorable toddler interactions.
