February 3

And so my babies are growing up! The 3rd marks Emanuel’s 7th birth-DATE… the  twins turn 9 on the 5th. What with Nana and Baba leaving for Mexico on the 6th we had to do the party before they left. Sunday (Superbowl Sunday!) was the only day that worked for both Ken’s folks AND Ken’s aunt Judy. The theme for the party? Perry the Platypus! Everything from the tablecloth to the cake… the  boys were over the moon. Though Trinity was quite disgusted with the lack of Candace (the big sister character).

We figured out afterwards that if you pulled down the left branch Perry peeked out the side of the tree!

It was doubly special to not only have Gavin’s god-daddy Cory there with his girlfriend Karen (no y) and other friends and family but to have TED there as well! 

We had quite the family filled guest list with Ken’s Aunty Judy and Uncle Jim, the kids’ cousins and their parents and of course Nana and Baba. Add in Gavin’s god father Cory and his girlfriend Karen and Ken’s good friend Christopher and his wife Renee and their two kids (Nathan and Evan) to the people already in the house and we had a nice crowd.

There was Skylanders to play afterwards and Lego to assemble. I think the day was a total success…

And to round out the evening – Uncle Sean made it into town! Of course he and Ken had to say hello in their own special way. Three friends together again!

Just like old times

So familiar

 Now for some more pictures of the kids!!
