Birthday Bash

We are big on birthdays over here; however we don't feel the need to drag the extended family out to our house every couple of days in September.  To avoid this we do one September birthday bash for all the September birthdays.  (Don't worry, everyone gets their own family party on their actual birthday)  Anyway, Saturday evening was the September birthday bash.  Here are some pictures of the festivities.  We even let some non-September birthday folks get presents also, as Marcus & Raelea were having a hard time seeing (seemingly) everyone else getting presents.

Here's Zoe with Auntie Joy.

Raelea modeling her new slippers.

Nina got to open her presents first since her birthday comes first in the month.

Molly looking like she can't wait to open her gifts.

Aidan in his ever present Longhorns hat.

Emily, with cousin Rachel looking on.

The rare picture of me on this blog!  Yes, I have a September birthday, too.  We won't talk about how old I'm going to be...

Okay, Now we start the non-September bunch.  I guess we could call this a birthday preview party for them.  Evan's birthday is in October.

Raelea's is in November.

And Marcus (who waited VERY patiently to open his presents) has his birthday in December.

Zoe thoroughly enjoyed the party and the cake, hers, mine and anyone else's.

Chris has a December birthday, too, but people figured he was old enough to wait for his presents.
