Birthday Extravaganza

We had a jolly good time celebrating Alaina's birthday on Saturday.  I love summer birthdays and celebrating outside.  Lee manned the grill while Alaina was able to run around with her dearest friends.  She ended up with cake on her face and dirt in her hair, so you know it was a successful party.

Here are few highlights:

My first attempt at something other than cupcakes.  I hope it gives hope to all you remedial cake-decorators out there.

The griller.

The party animals.

More party animals.

The birthday dinner.

The birthday girl.

Blowing out the candles.

Unbridled joy.

Jamie and the babies.

Good friends.

More good friends.

And they ate cake.

Grandad knows how to party.
