Birthday party!

Kayla turned 24! Wow! We have really been enjoying some extra time with her recently. She came over one night last week and made pasta and meatballs for us for dinner. But this post is about her birthday party. Gramma and Papa came over for dinner, taco salad, and then we broke out the birthday cake...key lime cheesecake! (yep, one of her favorites too, just like her Dad.) Uncle Bret came over for dessert; it's one of his favorites too!

Here's Michael putting the finishing touches on the bookshelf he built for Kayla. He noticed she had one on her Amazon wishlist, designed one and built it! What a handy guy! When he brought it in, she said, "Score!" Hmmm, I think she liked it!

Jonathan and Annisia laid on Bella's dog bed in the garage in some attempt to stay warm yet watch Daddy finishing the bookshelf. I missed getting a really cool pic of the two of them with hats and sunglasses on, laying on their tummies with their chins propped on their hands. bummer!

Sword fight!

Then beat up on Uncle Bret time. Wait a minute, two against one...is that fair?! He didn't seem to mind...
...even when Jonathan tried to push his cheek up into his eyes! Cheeky little bugger, isn't he!
