Almost like Christmas

Today we had the family birthday party for Mira and Amelia. All our immediate family was there and it was so good to see them! We set up the bounce house for the kids and were able to spend most of the afternoon outside, despite the humidity.
Chesney was really taken with Winter. I think there is a new puppy on the horizen for the Jahnke family!
Mira and Amelia got so many wonderful presents, most of which Chris and I spent the evening opening and assembling. I think I might go into business doing that for others! How much can one make assembling games, bikes, and toys? Make us an offer!

Amelia looked beautiful in her new leotard and tutu. She'll be starting ballet in a month and showed off her best move:
Mira and cousin Abby during gift opening:
Grandpa Wayne's birthday was on party day this year. He got a piece of carrot cake and a round of "Happy Birthday":
Mira and Amelia shared a cake this year. Mira said she'd prefer her own cake, so despite the cost savings, we'll probably do their own cakes next year.
Playing with their new bubble maker (and, yes, Mira's leotard is two sizes too small):
Amelia and her princess scooter:
Thanks to everyone for coming and making their birthday party special. You were all so generous. We loved seeing you.

Looks like fun! And it's interesting to hear how it goes to combine the girls' birthdays. Rowan and little Bubs will have birthdays pretty close together. I'm hoping they won't mind sharing a party!
