Party with Steve and Vicki

Shortly after getting back from Washington, and keeping up with tradition, Steve and Vicki invited us over to celebrate Emilia's birthday with them.
Emilia liked her gift.
Here we are after dinner and part way through Emilia's digging into her piece of cake. 
 Emilia enjoyed digging into her cake.
 
 
Thanks Steve and Vicki!!!!!

Family Party

While we were in Washington we celebrated Julia, Emilia, and Cousin Rylan's birthday and we were fortunate to have Neil's Uncle Dave and Aunt Jeannette, Great Grandma Hanson, and Ryan's parents there.  Rebecca blogged about the party as well.  See her entry here

Julia's had a Snow White cake and Rylan's was a construction cake (see the dump truck as the cake topper?)  
Emily helped Rylan with the cards that came with the presents.
 Emilia had fun with her cards.
 Rylan enjoyed the construction theme.
 
 Even Great Grandma got in on the construction fun.
 After all of the food, we burned off energy with some balloons.
