Vana and Joe's Baby Shower & Dad's Birthday

Today we celebrated Vana and Joe's baby with a shower at Arts West! Kayla and Cheryl came over last night and we had a cupcake factory party where we made woodland fairy cupcakes. Toadstools and mossy cupcakes!






There were also beautiful desserts by Athens Sweet Arts Bakery.









Baby shower!






Today is also Dad's birthday, and our family went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Here are Pete and Kate walking the wall around the Roadhouse!



Back to our house for cake and ice cream. Happy birthday, Dad!

Happy birthday, Pete!

We gathered tonight to celebrate Pete's birthday! It's a little early, because they're leaving on a camping trip and will be out of town on his actual birthday. We had a pizza party at Mer, Pete and Kate's house!



Felix really wanted some of that pizza crust. Dad gave him a small piece in exchange for some handshakes!



Presents!



Cake!






Make a wish...



Ta da!!!



Happy birthday, Pete! I hope it's an awesome year!

Happy Birthday, Mer!

Our family had a busy week last week, so we celebrated Mer's birthday a few days late! Mom cooked some delicious Cincinnati Chili!



Happy Birthday to Mer!



Thinking up a good wish.



Blow them out!



Texas sheet cake!



Mmm, with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yum!

Happy birthday, Joey!

Joey and Kelly had a cocktail party tonight to celebrate Joey's birthday! We played a long game of pin the pipe on the leprechaun. Every single person at the party had to got to have a turn.

My Birthday!

I got to start my birthday morning off with a warm slice of fresh peach cake that my sister made and dropped off for me. What a treat!



And the fun continued that night at Mer, Pete and Kate's house! We got to wear birthday crowns!



It was a pizza party.






Avalanche Pizza!



Mer made a salad!



Pete and Kate.



Over the summer, Old Navy had a really great sale on Hawaiian shirts. Pete, Dad and Ben each ended up getting the same one. Since matching outfits are my FAVORITE, my one birthday wish was that they would all wear their shirts to my party. I am the luckiest birthday girl EVER! TRIPLETS!!!!!



And matching crowns for all!



Pete helped Kate jump SUPER high. Watch Dad's face as these photos progress.






Haha!!



Hugs!



We played Pin the Tail on the Elephant.






Joey was pretty close.



Pete's turn!









Mer was next!



She got REALLY dizzy.



Not over there!



Kate schooled us all in the art of pin the tail.



Grandpa!






Me!



Cake time!



Mmm, Texas sheet cake with candy corn. Spooky!



Mom made this cake. It was YUM!



Thanks everyone for helping me celebrate my birthday!
