a little birthday fun

we had a lot of fun celebrating jeffrey's birthday last week. thanks to everyone who made it a great birthday for jeffrey this year. even though we live so far away, we sure felt a lot of love from family and friends.

we gave jeffrey a little breakfast in bed.
the boys helped me make this poster. don't you just love their artwork?
presents!!
elliot got to light the candles for me. he was so excited!
the birthday boy.
i made an ice cream cake. it was mint chocolate chip ice cream with a crushed oreo bottom and whipped cream on the top. oh it was so good.
we went to the ward party on jeffrey's birthday and he spent nearly 3 hours straight in the pool. we had a lot of fun. i'm so sad i forgot my camera! we really had a great time though.

here are a couple shots of the boys.
best friends.
elliot's lego creations.
story time with sarah.
craft time at the library. oh how we love our library!

i wanted to put this in. these are some of my good friends from our ward out here. the relief society has a movie night once a month and i finally remembered to take my camera. i will miss these wonderful ladies when we move. no word on the move yet though, so i might be able to enjoy their company for a while longer.

I have to just say, what is it with ice cream cakes? LOL. I had one, Jeff had one and so did my stepsister's boyfriend, and she made Mint with Oreo as well. Weird!!

I'm so glad you guys had a good time! You deserved it!

I'm also glad you can bond with some of the ladies in relief society. Unfortunately I have not had good experiences with them and my mom so it makes me happy when others are happy. :)
