Happier Birthdays

Last week we celebrated Jacob and Audra's birthday.  They were born on the same day three years apart.  It was great when they were little because we had one big party.  It will be great when they are older because we can have one big party.  But right now they are very different so we celebrate separately.

Jacob wanted to "hang out" with friends in the backyard.

There was skateboarding..

.

Snacks...

A big cookie...

Music...

Really LOUD music....

And a movie that no one watched...

The next morning we had our traditional birthday breakfast and we gave the kids their presents.  

Jacob got his passport and money for his mission trip to Rome

Audra got a unicycle

Then it was time for Audra's party at the pool...

Wait a minute Zoe, this is not the crazy picture...

This is!

The cupcakes were Audra's creations....

Lucky little brother had plenty of chips to eat and a friend to keep him busy...

While big brother worked the front gate.  He charged us full price for all of our guests--no family discount.  This boy takes his job serious!

For this I gave him this pin declaring him the "Employee of the Month"--on his first day of work!

A good time was had by all and now Audra has enough duct tape and sharpies to last through the summer.

Thank you God for friends!
