Grandma's Birthday for All

The kids were entertaining themselves well at Grandpa and Grandma's last month:

making fairy wings,

and making sushi (according to Zazel).

But when Allianna found out that Zazel had a birthday in Brooklyn and she couldn't go, we found a way to solve the dilemma. Hold a birthday party for Zazel once she got to Grandma's! And make it Allianna's birthday too! (Bet you can't guess who's idea that was?!) Make it a birthday party for all of the grandkids, since they never get to have their birthday at Grandpa and Grandma's (and they were all going to be there together for the first time)!

So we baked a cake:

pinned some tails:

got fancy with hula hoops:

while Amy and Abigaelle cheered us on.

All in all, it was a splendid celebration of Abigaelle, Mary Tessa, Zazel, Allianna, and Simon. We celebrated Jack too--we just didn't know what color candle to put for him or when his big debut would soon be!
