Birthday parties

This past weekend Ellie and Isaac celebrated their birthdays with a family birthday party. Grandma and Grandpa came into town, which was the highlight for all three of the kids. They don't get to see them nearly enough so whenever we do it's a big event. Isaac surprised us and had a great time hanging with Grandpa. Usually he won't sit with anyone other than mom and dad if we are in the room. But he and Grandpa were buds and had a great time together.
Here are some pics of the party. We made Ellie's cake and got Isaac's cake from Byerly's. FYI-Byerly's gives away a free cake for a child's 1st birthday. It was great and saved us from making 2 cakes for the party! When I asked Ellie what we should have to eat at her party she hemmed and hawed for a bit, then suggested that we serve "poptarts". While my kids would have loved it, I didn't think everyone else would so we served sandwiches, salads, & chips instead. We had a fun time!
