double the birthdays, double the fun!

At the end of June we celebrated my nephew Riley's 6th birthday!

I just love this picture and his genuinely happy smile!

He got a new scooter from his parents and the kids had a blast trying it out!

The cousins with their "light sabers"
{the next day he was having a Star Wars party with some friends}

{for some reason I wasn't as picture happy on this day as I usually am!}

Then, just this last Saturday, we celebrated my other nephew Parker's 4th birthday. He had an Indiana Jones-themed party with friends that same morning, but we already had plans for the traditional Robin Hood Festival & Parade, so we weren't able to make it. Luckily, we worked it out and came later in the afternoon to help celebrate with just us and Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Ruth!


My sister-in-law, Kristen, is an awesome party planner!

Each of the kids got a stuffed snake, binoculars, safari sunglasses, and hat...
Ring {the alligator} Toss!

Mummy wraps...
...which later turned into a TP war!
Such fun tableware!

Aunt Kristen filled up the sand box with blue and green sand.
She's so cool!
Parker got a fun game for his birthday that the boys loved playing...

...and Austin loved winning!
Cupcake time!
How is it...
...that all 4-year old boys get food all over their faces?
All the cousins...being "cheesy'!

Double the birthdays, double the fun!
