My cousin Alisa and her family are home from China for several months. Her son turned one at the end of April, and her daughter turns 3 just several days after Blake turns one. Since they were home, we decided to do a birthday party for the three of them up at the Beam lake house on Lake Norman. We got there around lunchtime and had a great meal. Then we did the boat rides and jet skiing. After Zeb and Kayleigh took their naps, we did cake, ice cream and gifts.
I really didn't think Blake would dig into his cake, and I was right. He touched it a couple times and ended up just painting his whole body with icing. Zeb however, dominated his cake and ice cream and would've eaten the whole big cake if it would've been within his reach. It was hilarious and I got the best laugh watching him eat his cake. He was truly having a good time. Kayleigh used a fork and ate her cake like a lady. After the boys (whom we called Shrek and Smurf because of the color of their icing) finished eating/painting, we threw (not literally) them into the lake to wash off. They both absolutely loved the water and like the little floats we had them in.
I hated to leave because I was having a really good time. My family is very important to me and I think sometimes I get a little too sentimental. I wish we lived closer to our NC family but 2 and a half hours isn't too bad. Could be way worse I suppose. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pics of our little birthday group!
