Happy Birthday to you!

We celebrated for 3 big reasons yesterday! A 3-year birthday, a 4-year birthday and Blake's 2-year Metcha Day anniversary!
So the grandma's and grandpa's, great grandma's and grandpa, aunt and uncle, and friends all came over to join the festivities...
The kids opened presents (my kids are spoiled)...played with the toys, tossed aside the clothes, and tore through the cards.  They ate cake, ice cream, veggies and dip, fruit, ham and cheese, crackers, cake pops, and suckers.  Drank some cherry 7-up and played and played and played.

October 2011...hard to believe how little this guy was when we first met him!

Still one of  my all-time favorite pics from Blake's orphanage!

And look at him today!  What a difference 2 years makes!

Leah even got a few presents...she must be pretty special!

Autum got her sucker...all she wanted for her birthday in one lick!

Blake and all his motorized, noisy toys!

Blake and his rocket launcher from Uncle Chad

Stomp on it!

Watch it fly!

And cheer!  He did this for a solid 30 minutes, over and over...

Night-time snack, in all our pajamas, wearing our fairy wings, still eating cake...
