late Sunday night – Bubba & Pappy and Pete, Margit, Paul & Timmy arrived so Monday morning (E&C’s 4th birthday) was a BIG one – being woken up with Happy Birthday and with finding lots of family members there!
Crusty 4 year old Eleanore.
happy happy!
Timmy & Uncle Pete chillin’
Crusty 4 year old Claire!
These 2 hit it off immediately – just 2 guys! So precious to watch them connect quickly and have fun.
the birthday girls were happy to see their bubba.
Ellie’s birthday donut.
Claire’s birthday donut.
Charlie gave the girls Legos all while telling them that he was giving them legos.
we headed out with the birthday girls skiing.
Paul and Uncle Pete out!
the snow started coming down! We were excited!
back after a day of skiing to start opening more presents – clothes!
when you get new clothes you put them on instantly!
E&C
Charlie getting consoled in the background – it is beyond comprehension that JUST the girls would get to get presents on their birthday. E&C are already wearing everything and playing with their ponies.
there are a lot of these, but I can’t help it. love how big they look!
he finally got over it, but it took a bit.
timmins enjoying the present openings.
It was so awesome having my mom and dad there (and so thankful they were able to host us!)
no idea what pappy is up to here.
then the girls disappeared behind the couches to play. Just LOVE LOVE LOVE that about this age!
Ellie opening gifts from Dotes & Uncle Elliot (they had a family emergency and couldn’t come on the trip – ree sad for all of us!).
Claire opening her presents.
sweet! more DVDs – they watched them over and over throughout the week. shanks dotes & Uncle Elliot.
a favorite!
more clothes for Claire to instantly put on.
Birthday dinner time! Thanks Costco for a delicious cake!
the whole crew!
Claire’s turn for singing!
Ellie’s turn! here she is happy.
then once the singing really started she put on her laser focus look because she didn’t want to blow as many times as claire.
ha! no smile throughout the singing! she was cracking us up!
there she goes! happy and instant blowing out!
cake time! Claire loves her chocolate!
