She's 3 & She's 1 & They Had Lots Of Fun!!

After everyone had left last night & the yard was cleaned up, Jim & I sat down & reflected on the days events.  What an amazing birthday cook-out we had!!   We feel incredibly lucky & blessed to have so many family & friends who care so much about us & our children!

Our backyard was full of people who came from near & far to help celebrate Isabella & Savannah's Birthday!  A good time was had by all, despite the extreme heat & humidity that blanketed the air.  To say that it was "hot" out was an understatement.  Even sitting in the shade brought little relief from the humidity, but everyone braved the weather conditions with a smile (and sweat) on their faces!  The kids had so much fun playing together!  The laughter & excitement that came from our yard could be heard from miles away!

Here are just a few of the photo's that were taken:



                     It didn't take long for the kids to realize that the pool was the best place to be!



A special thanks to Mike & Joan for letting us borrow some of their tables, chairs and..most importantly...umbrella's!!!
                                     
                                          Bella & Ivy had a great time swimming together!
                                                
                                                 Uncle Frank is still "one of the kids"...!


Uncle John is teaching her young....lol  (No need to call Children Services on us.  She didn't actually drink anything..!)

                                                Isabella loved her Butterfly Birthday Cake!


                           Savannah was clapping while everyone sang Happy Birthday to her!

                                                                  Mmmmmm, Cake!



                                                  The kids, and dinosaurs, loved the cake!

                                  "Thank you, God.  My Mom is finally letting me eat cake!!"




Ok, so things got just a smidgen crazy come present opening time.  The girls were spoiled with tons and tons and tons of gifts!  I only got this one photo of Bella opening a gift before I became overwhelmed with all of the gifts!!

 It was like Christmas morning for Bella when she woke up!  Here she is checking out her balloon from Nana.  It's My Little Pony, so she loves it!


She was very excited to get a whole bunch of My Little Pony's!  Here she is showing off one that has wings..

                                 Savannah enjoyed checking out her gifts this morning, too!


                                        Wearing one of her new outfits - so freaking cute!

                                                                     "I'm a Princess.."


Nana & Papa Joe got this pull toy for Savannah & I have to say, it is the most unique toy I've ever seen!  It makes all sorts of noises & Savannah LOVES it!

The girls were sharing, for a couple of...seconds
