Next Up: Kerry May is now 5!

 

whoosh!  Now she's five!  :)

(this picture is a little strange - almost like it's 1980...)

 

Again, lots of wonderful presents for the "little one"

 ...but anytime there's a book, nearly all other presents are ignored for the time being...

 

Big sister had to restraint herself from it turning into her "second" birthday...  but she did OK. :)

Strangely enough, no one around here wants just a traditional old birthday cake.  I guess that would be too "normal" or something.  OK!  You want an apple tart?  You got it!  

Kerry's birthday party with friends was at her Dance Studio.  

 So serious.  :)  

But I do think she had a great time... and there's nothing quite as much fun as five!

Happy Birthday, my Kerry May! 

(who currently hates to have her photo taken -- I wonder if that will change?)

First Up: Jenica turns 7

 This is lucky number seven for Miss Jenica -- and boy, was she excited.
On your birthday, here in our house, you get a "day" to plan -- it's all yours (within reason).  :)  Jenica chose to
1) Open Presents

 (with help from "little sister")

(Again, both Jenica and Kerry are so fortunate to have some very generous and loving family members who send them some of the best stuff for birthdays!)

 

2) Then it was off to her favorite place, The Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver.

 3) Finally, home quick to make her own birthday treats:  chocolate cookies stuffed with Nutella...

 All in all, I think being seven is going to be great!
