Let the Celebrating Begin

It is the beginning of our big birthday week and we started it off with a birthday dinner at Grandma Cathy's. She had an art project all set up for the kids to work on while she finished making dinner. The girls, of course, loved it and were kept busy painting and coloring birthday cards.

The Brunettis brought birthday balloons which all of the kids were excited about.

After a delicious dinner with a variety of options to please all of the picky eaters from the Stringham household, everyone had cupcakes and ice-cream, with the birthday kids blowing out candles.
Peter eventually just sat right up by the ice cream containers so he could reach what he needed.

And although, there are no pictures (I forgot my camera and had only Shawn's cell phone,) there were presents for everyone that was there. Three of us will be a year older by the end of the week. Happy Birthday to us!
