Birthday Season

The past couple of weeks we celebrated Ash's & Helena's birthdays.  Ash had a bit of a subdued celebration as he had a project due the week before and the week after.  But, we still had cake and chicken marsala (his favorite).

Helena had a great day on Thursday, her actual birthday.  She took yogurt tubes to school for birthday snack and then we repeated a lot of the celebration from last year with a trip to Jump & Bounce and then off to a dinner of hamburgers and french fries.

We opened presents and ate the tinkerbell cake. :)


Opening her giant unicorn from Grandpa Ash & Grandma Maggie (can you tell she liked it?!?)

Showing off her tinkerbell crown and basket for her bike.
My pride & joy - nut/dairy/egg/gluten free chocolate cake. :)

Everyone liked it!!

On Saturday, she had a party at the Little Gym with her friends.  We had a fun group of kids who ran around and had a blast.  :)  That part wore us all out.  I believe I fell asleep on the couch at 8:30!

Showing off on the balance beam...

I'm 5!!! (And I couldn't stop eating long enough to pose for this picture!)
Happy Birthday Helena!  You're the coolest little girl we know - love you!!

- Emily :)
