The Family Birthday Party






As usual, Bob and I were too busy running around - grilling and serving up food - visiting with family - just being part of the party, to get many pictures of the party. Managed to get a few of Cearra and Owen blowing out candles and enjoying our traditional Carvel ice cream cake. And Cearra being very happily surprised when she opened her gift from us!

We are so lucky to have family close enough to come for the day (although we always miss those who are in far off lands like Spain ... or Wisconsin), and we had a wonderful time seeing everyone.

One of my favorite moments of the day came in the form of giggles and shrieks as Malia and Owen discovered the echo in the water drain. Nothing says happy like a child's laughter.
