Dave and Chloe's Brithday Party

First off, thanks to the Chris's for a great party and I love your new house!

I do believe it was a great party, I think everyone had fun, there was great food, cake, presents, balloons, kids running around half naked and who doesn't need a toy dog that poops??? I got a good shot of the kids eating lunch at their little table. Of course you know Livey and Dave and then the redheads are my sister Christina's little girls Emma, who is 3 and a half and Chloe who turned 2 on Saturday.



This next one's not a very good picture but I had to include it for the irony factor. I've told you how David is afraid of the vacuum cleaner at home and is convinced that I just use it to torture him. He also manages to run right in my chosen path so it seems like I'm just chasing him from room to room with it. Well, what does he like most at Christina's house to play with? Yep, toy vacuum. Must have drug it up and down the stairs 20 times, had it all over the house.


It was killing the older girls that there was cake on the table and it was not being served yet. That's one thing they take after their Mamas, they love cake! As soon as it was brought out they planted themselves in front of it and proceeded to give all instructions on what to do and how to do it quickly so they could have some cake.

"Hey, we know there's take up there. How bout it sister? Cut that thing! LET'S HAVE SOME TAKE!"

Here is the cake (or take as Dave would say he also likes tookies a lot) which was actually very good.

The master of ceremonies herself with baby Lydia still under wraps. She put 2 candles on each side for Chloe and Dave.

"No, we're not doing anything, we're just waiting patiently for cake!"

Dave did pretty good on blowing out the candles, got 'em in two tries.

Chloe did good as well but I think she had a bit of help from Emma on the side :-)

"I still want cake and no, I am not going to smile for you."

As you can see below Grandma's make good booster seats! That's my Mom holding Dave and that is Christopher's Mom holding Chloe. Everyone's attention is focused on Christina cutting the cake. Looks like Dave is already licking his lips in anticipation.

"Good grief it takes a long time to cut cake, I've gotta stand up now!"

And of course I can do it myself! These shots are quite different from the first birthday shots of them bathing in the cake.

Unfortunately that's all I got. I've been having so much fun taking pictures with the new camera I forgot all about charging it. Typical, I know. I must admit I didn't mind all that much. You know I'd much rather be in the fray enjoying the moment than standing back and taking pictures anyway. So that's exactly what I did for the rest of the day. Presents came next and Dave cleaned up with toy cars and a rug with streets and a railway to play with them on. Got a bunch of new books too which we've already ready three or four times :-) After that the kids and I ran upstairs and they all conned me into taking their clothes off so they could get into the dress up clothes. Emma found a pink tutu, Olivia found a Snow White dress and of course Dave and Chloe just ran off in their diapers. Yep, I fell for that one again!

Oh, and I don't know what I did but Chloe wanted me to play with her and hold her! She barely even acknowledged I existed before now but Saturday she couldn't get enough of me, it was great! I love all those babies more than anything and that made my day!

Again, thanks to the Chris's (sorry don't know how to properly make that plural!) we all had a great time!
