G and E party #2!

Round two of Graham and Ellie's Birthday!  We have a lot of friends and a very big family so we decided to break it up and have 2 parties!

 The spread was a lot more sophisticated at this party! It included Tomato pie and a sausage strata!

 We did make hot air balloon sandwiches for the little ones.

It was so nice to have every single member of our immediate families here.  It is very very rare that we can all be in one place at one time.  Graham and Ellie are so blessed to be loved by so many.  It was also nice to be able to spend quality time with family.  Graham and Ellie even got to take the time to open each persons card and gift!

One happy little birthday girl.

Sweet birthday boy!

Graham and Uncle Jared.

Ellie was so excited she got the Y bike she asked for from Mimi and Pop!!!

Of course Uncle Jake and Pop put it together for her (Ryan and I were so excited to not have to put it together!!)

Graham loved Uncle Jareds funny cards and his monogrammed bucket hat from G Dad and BG!!

How cute do they look in these hats?!

 Sweet Grayson looking sharp in his suspenders and bow tie!

Zach looks like he belongs in a brooks brothers catalog!

Next up....Cake!  Here is the cake for all the family!

And G and E got another smash cake.  Graham ate over half of it and loved each bite!  Ellie again hated it from the very beginning!!

"Its my party and I'll cry if I want to!"

Here are the twins on their new bikes!  They are already so good and independent on them!!

Ellie and Mimi having a snack in the shade.

Relaxing and catching up!

So excited to be able to celebrate these two in such a special way!  We had a blast...but Ryan and I are exhausted!

Still can't believe these sweet babies are now one.  This year has absolutely flown by.  They have become such independent "big kids" over the past month!  We are so blesses to be Graham and Ellie's parents and look forward to watching them continue to grow!
