Birthdays

Jemma's birthday is coming up and I have been uncharacteristically sentimental now for weeks about this! The kids have been poring over the picture books lately and they especially love pictures of their birthdays. They are both so excited for Jemma to have her own birthday and they have their presents wrapped and hidden away and they talk nonstop to her about her cake, her streamers, and her first happy meal! Yes, we take our kids to McD's on their first birthdays for their first all-american hamburger and fries. Here's some oldies but goodies:
Jack's first fry. He likes it.

First cake!

He wasb't too sure about the sticky white stuff,

so his big sister jumped in to help.

Ava, on the other hand, bit right in.

nummy.
(Okay, Jemma is starting to look a whole lot like her!)

Mmm, she was sweet!

I remember all of this like it was yesterday and I cannot believe my baby is turning one.

Happy Birthday Jemma. It goes by so quickly Kelly. I can't believe my kids are babysitting for you, and will soon be able to drive there. EEEK

I love the McD's plan, we used to do Pizza Hut.
