Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays PLUS parties and presents = lots and lots of pictures!

Paige and I both had birthdays this past week...I turned 29 on the 20th and Paige turned 4 on the 21st. So between the both of us it makes for one really hectic week, but we love it. Paige started the tradition of having breakfast in bed....so for my birthday I got waffles with strawberries and whipped cream along with sausage, bacon and orange juice - YUMMY!!! Then of course that is also what she asked for on her birthday. Here are a few pictures...

On Friday night we celebrated our birthdays out at my dad's with his family...he made Paige a doll house, she loves it! {Don't mind the naked barbies}.

Saturday night we celebrated my birthday by going out to eat at Johnny Carrino's - my favorite restaurant. Sunday {my actual birth date} we went out to my mom's for a bbq to celebrate both of our birthdays with my mom and her family - here are some of those pictures...

Here we are the birthday girls!!! -She is by FAR the best birthday present I have EVER received, and what a blessing she's been!

For Paige's birthday she of course got breakfast in bed then she had a PARTY with a bunch of friends from the neighborhood and Ana from dance. We borrowed my sister in laws blow up water slide {thanks Amber, you're the best!!!} and had 18, 4 year olds over for the party. They played on the slide forever then we played drip, drip, SPLASH {a spin off of duck duck goose} then the kidlets ate popsicles while Paige opened her presents. Then it was back to playing on the water slide til parents came to pick them up. It was absolutely exhausting, but they had a blast so it was worth it, after a shower and a nap we went out to get dinner, she chose Artic Circle and then we went shopping for her new bike, it was a really fun day....hope you enjoy the pictures!

Brian decided it might be fun if Paige took Brayden down once.....
As you can see, Brayden didn't think it was such a good idea. That dang daddy! :(
Brayden eating his first french fry.....boy did he love it!

He prefers the slides to be dry...thank you very much! ;) Then on Tuesday we had Brian's side of the family over to celebrate, so once again we did the big water slide - which was another BIG hit, thanks again Amber!

Opened presents...
Paige got money from Corey and Crystal, she LOVED it...thanks! She also loved the presents from everyone else, thanks again! For her cake this year, she asked me WAY back in January if she could have Snow White on her cake this year....I thought she would forget and choose something else once it got closer -but nope, she stuck with Snow White and my talented sister in law Brooke didn't let her down. The cake looked awesome! Thanks Brooke, she loved it!!!
Here's a picture of Wade riding Paige's new birthday bike....Oops, I'll get one with her on it soon!

After presents and cake we stuck with tradition and lit off FIREWORKS!!!! Here's a picture of them watching them, this was Brayden's first time watching them....he fell asleep before he could see them on the 4th of July. He wasn't too sure what to think of em' but did pretty good.
So thanks again to every one who shared in all our birthday celebrations, it all went off with a BANG!!! We had a great time....thanks again!
