 Boys being boys

 This was so much fun- I'm sure I had as much fun doing this party as they had being there!  We had more kids than we expected and it was great- here's (L-R) Sean, Hayden, Braden in yellow, Owen, Whalen, Myles and Emily.  I made hamburgers and we had hotdogs and Scott BBQ'd them all up for us.  It felt like such a significant B-day- the year she starts school- and maybe the first year she'll remember a Birthday:)  Our little girl growing up:)

 Time for Cake with Dora and Diego!

Smile!

Present time- there's Anya, and Sarah was there somewhere, too:)
