Happy Birthday Week!

 Olivia's "Elsa" cake and Cole's "Pirate" cake

     This past Saturday we celebrated our grandchildren's birthdays. They were both born the last week of August, ( Olivia the 25th & Cole the 31st ) so they celebrate together with one party. Lisa tries to make the whole week special for the kids. Olivia turned 6 and Cole 3 this year. We drove down on Thursday to help get ready for the party. 
      Also, we were excited to pick up our daughter Jenni at Metro Airport on her return from South Africa. The kids are always happy to have aunt Jenni visit.

     Saturday at noon, family and friends from church showed up to celebrate the kids birthdays. We enjoyed some yard games, pizza, pasta salad, cookies, fruit and of course cake. Then it was time for the kids to open their presents.
