The Birthday Boy!

Niklas celebrated his 4th birthday as well as his Gotcha Day/Family Day in June. He was thrilled to have his friends and relatives come to celebrate. He loved all the presents and his cake! It has been a challenging year but I now have a little boy who asks for hugs and says "I love you mommy" so I think we have turned a brighter corner.

The Birthday Girl

Ellie Grace turned five last week! Her Grandma Sue and Grandpa How came over with lunch and a gift on Monday. They gave her a new set of Lego's. She and I share the same birthday so I made spaghetti for dinner and we had cake and ice cream before she opened her gifts from us on Tuesday night. We invited her class and a few other special friends to PLAY on Saturday. It was a smaller crowd than expected, but all the children seemed to have a great time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!
