Okay, maybe it sounds excessive to do two birthday parties. But we have a rather large family with most of them from out of town, so we have realized it is better to split up the family and the kids. The parties are always pretty much the same ole, same ole - food (lots of yummy food is best), then open presents, then eat lots of yummy desserts! So that is just what we did on Sunday to celebrate Sadie's birthday! (We also were kind of celebrating Grandma Jacque, Uncle Nik and Tony's birthdays too!)
The three grandmas - Marie, Jacque and Betsey(Sadie was born on Jacque's birthday, so they are special birthday twins!)
Auntie Chrissie and the newest member of the family, Uncle Aaron! (They were married 8-8-08!)
Mmm, spinach dip!
Pretty much the cutest volleyball I have ever seen!
We got Sadie her first American Girls doll for her birthday. Auntie Chrissie knew this, so she got her a Chinese outfit for the doll that is very similar to the one Chrissie wore at her wedding reception! Really neat.
Sadie wanted chocolate trifle instead of cake. Smart girl!
Uncle Nik with his girlfriend, Nicole, and Drew!
Uncle Derek with his girlfriend, Rachel, and the Birthday Girl!All in all, another fun party filled with friends and family. We so appreciate everyone making the trek to our house to celebrate these events in our kids' lives. It means the WORLD to all of us! We love you!
