Ellie was blessed with yet another birthday party this past Sunday with the Giere side. (we had to postpone the original Giere party due to my unforeseen gall bladder issues the weekend before...) We headed to the city, to Grandma and Grandpa's this time for a day of family, food and fun!
Cupcakes for the birthday girl! (she decided that although she is a big 3 year old now, she wanted to use Sammy's booster seat for her treat!)


Mmmmmmm, frosting!
Ellie's new shopping cart is a huge hit! She asked if she could take it to the store with us today, but unfortunately it's a bit too heavy to tag along.
Oh, these two...just can't get enough of them!
After lunch, cake and gifts, the kids headed to the roof to swim...in a pool, of course! I was going to attempt to get Ellie to take a nap, so we sent the big kids ahead w/ Brian, Heidi and Jim. But, the poor thing just didn't want to be left out and who could blame her? It was her party after all and she should get to swim if she wanted to! She's pointing to the elevator here...this way to the pool?!
Daddy and Grandpa had their hands full playing with the 6 big kids in the pool...I'm guessing they were really tired and maybe a bit sore after all of that, although they probably wouldn't admit it! :O)
Okay, just a couple random cuties here...Sammy is showing his love for tennis, just like his mommy! Go Kim Clijsters! We're loving her comeback during the US Open!
A little pre-bedtime fun...
And, finally, Hannah's front, upper tooth fell out! If you've seen her at all in the past week or so, you know that that thing was literally hanging on by a thread! I couldn't believe it took so long to fall out, when it was clearly soooooo loose! Here's our big girl with the big hole in her mouth!
