July 16th was a busy day! After Max's baptism luncheon, we headed over to Ian's parents house to celebrate this darling girl's birthday:We started off by swimming in the pool. My kids love Nana and Papa's pool because it is shaded and stays really cool. They spent 90% of their time in the pool.
How cute is this boy? I really wish he would stay 4 forever.
Ian's mom bought a snow cone machine especially for the occasion. I love myself a good snow cone.
JD helped dish them out.
After a little while, Sean swam with the birthday girl and her cousin.
Matthea was so funny - we'd say, "Lay back and relax" and she'd lay back.
Evan eating his 3rd snow cone.
After pool time we came in to sing happy birthday. The cake had a picture of the birthday girl! Evan loved it :)Xander was a little camera shy.
Blowing out the candles:
Present time! Evan was excited until he noticed that Matthea was getting all girl stuff. He quickly lost interest.
Harry Potter showed up.
The best present was outside. Nana and Papa bought Matthea a bbq/kitchen set. She loved it! It was so fun to watch her play with her cousin. We bought Matthea some gloves and a purse. I feel kinda bad because I have a feeling Meg is going to be putting those gloves on 1,000 times a day.
She had them off in .2 seconds after Meg put them on.
We had such a fun time helping Matthea celebrate her 2nd birthday.
