Birthdays!

We have had a very busy couple of weeks! We have had lots of visitors around because of the Invitational at VHGC. Our niece Emma was here for a week before her parents arrived and so we got to spend some time with her and Norah got some quality play time with her. Then, we celebrated Drew's birthday with his family, Drew and his partner, Ryan, won the Invitational, we got together to celebrate my Grandpa's 80th birthday, and our sweet girl Norah celebrated her 3rd birthday. Needless to say, we have done a lot of celebrating (and eating! :)) and it has been a fun couple of weeks!

Norah and Emma had a great time playing with our real strollers and their baby dolls outside!

Taking a stroll down the street!

Then, they had to pull out the double stroller of course.  When we asked Norah what her babies names were she told us Stella, which we of course already knew, and she said her second baby was Carlos!  HHHmmmm......not sure where she picked that one up from, but we'll go with it!

All the girls minus Grace.  We missed you Grace!

Daddy's little helpers

This was the first time Norah tried the Big Wheel at Grammy and Papa's house.  It is the first time I actually saw her pedal a bike and make it work.  It was at the perfect angle for her.

She was just so thrilled to be able to ride along with the other girls, finally!

Then, we got to celebrate Grandpa Baird's 80th birthday.  I unfortunately didn't get a picture of Grandpa (or him with the kids), but we will all be together again on Tuesday, so hopefully then!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR BEAUTIFUL NORAH.
SHE WAS SO EXCITED WHEN SHE WOKE UP TO ALL OF THE BALLOONS ON HER FLOOR.

Of course, Hazey had to get in on the action.

Just what she asked for....Doc McStuffins and Lambie!

After seeing Norah's excitement about the Big Wheel at Grammy and Papa's, we had to get her one for her birthday!  Drew and Norah trying to figure out the directions!

Off she goes.....

My friend Jennifer was down the street for a bridal shower, so Claire and her got to stop for a little play time afterwards.

Our little Hazey Bean.  We'll be celebrating her birthday next!

Norah got her very own camera from Aunt Dinah and Uncle Kenny.  Let's just say she has been a little obsessed with taking pictures of EVERYTHING ever since!
