Sugar for all!

Gigi's 5th Birthday - 033

After filling the kids with sugar, the kids all went out and played with our growing ride toy collection.  You can’t see it in this picture, but we had a whole crazy group riding bikes, scooters, tricycles and toy cars.  It was a beautiful day and really fun.  Happy birthday, Gigi!

Note to my East Coast friends: this is what December looks like in my neighborhood.

Three Year-Old Biker Chick

Catie's 3rd Birthday - 231

Catie loves her new bike.

Catie's 3rd Birthday - 209

Even though Gigi’s bike is two years old, Catie is still too small for it.  So we had to buy an even tinier bike for her.  Which is one way to make sure you get new toys and not hand-me-downs for your birthday.  Go, little sister, go!
