Birthday Blowouts


Well, we had quite a busy birthday weekend. First the girls (who officially turn two today) had their party. Then, the following day, it was Mom's turn to enjoy her birthday.


With that said, here is a heaping helping of birthday photos from their sock monkey themed party.


A special thanks to Aunt Susan for being our photographer for the day and to Mom for weeding through all those great options to pick out these gems for the blog... Enjoy!



Braelyn & Mom enjoy a monkey cupcake (appropriately enough)


Gwendolyn greets her guests in style


Mom unveils the sock monkey cake she nearly lost an appendage decorating (good news, the blood flow has nearly returned to her arm after all that time icing the cake). On a side note, you can tell that Gwendolyn is already on a sugar high by the chocolate icing from her monkey cupcake plastered all over her face.



Mom's cute sock monkey theme extended thorough out the party


Braelyn monkeying around on the playground


Dad and Gwendolyn look at one of her new gifts


This sequence of slide photos isn't one of poor Gwenner's finest moments...


Gwendolyn down, Gwendolyn down... Literally! However, we'll chalk this one up to some poor slide spotting technique by Mom!


Whew... At least Gwendolyn made it safe and sound at the bottom


Braelyn's birthday smiles


Gwendolyn gets in the act as well


All hail princess Braelyn and her mother the queen


Get out of our way... We're opening gifts



The whole family says "cheese"
