We celebrated Reese's birthday tonight with Val, Jen and all the cousins. Reese had a great time. Here are some highlights.
Pre-party it was tough keeping her away from the pile of presents
Asher showing off his new finger puppet from NanaReese and Asher playing finger puppets (until Reese took both and ran off with them seconds later...)
The awesome Elmo cake made by a friend of ours
The crew enjoying tacos
Asher and the remains of his tacos
Reese calling Grandma to tell her to come over
Enjoying having everybody sing Happy Birthday to me
Blowing out the candles...she knew exactly what to do and blew out all 3 on the first try
Opening the princess card from Jeff and Michelle
The present opening paused for about 10 minutes while Reese put each of her new stickers on her new book
Opening gifts with gusto
Reese enjoying her new easel
When it was time to go potty, she just pulled the easel over for easy access (note the back of the portable potty sticking out the back)...some day she will probably kill me for this picture
Asher cuddling with a tired Daddy
Reese protecting her chalk from the cousins
Asher found some unique ways to play with the easel himself, mostly pushing it around while Reese was drawing to make it a moving target
It didn't take long for Daddy to start using the new toy...I'm sure it won't be the last time :)
