Nathaniel's 7!!!

Nathaniel turned 7 on Monday! We just celebrated at home because Daddy had to work in the evening and we're planning a party for next weekend. Thaniel got to have a break from his usual chores for the day. After lunch, we let him open a few presents!

He was excited to get his own gum and M&Ms!


He got a couple of new Transformers!

The second present was a box of baby wipes...or so he thought!

Much to his delight, it was really a "signature" Webkinz panda!

That evening, Grandma and Papa Corbett came over because they'll be away for his party...We had birthday pie! YUM! Fresh-baked apple!

Got them all!

A LEGO Star Wars set!!!

Thaniel shares his Papa's love of planes...so this was GREAT!

Another new Transformer! ALRIGHT!!!

I think Nathaniel enjoyed his day...other than missing his big sister 'cause she was a camp...he had a good birthday!

♥Elli's 5th Birthday!!!

We celebrated Elliana's 5th Birthday by having a horse/unicorn themed party. Anyone who knows Elli knows she is a horse LOVER!!! Often she is found crawling around on all fours neigh-ing and proclaiming "I am Elli THE horse!" or as it has been lately "I am Elli THE unicorn-pegasus!" As a funny side note, she had gotten the princess hat she is wearing from the dollar store a month before her birthday, wanting to wear it for her party. It wasn't until we were looking at the pictures from her party the other day that she proclaimed "There I am with my unicorn horn on!" I asked her to clarify. She proceeded to tell me in no uncertain terms that it was NOT a princess hat she was wearing, but INDEED a unicorn horn! : )

Grandma and Papa Corbett found a pretty "horse" shirt for her.

And an American-girl type doll who is dressed as a flower girl! Elli is going to be a flower girl in her cousin, Dessarae's wedding in April!

She was SO excited to get her own bag of pink M&M's from Great Grandma Mueller! Unfortunately, our dog, Timber, got to them first! : (

Here she is posing with her prized possession! A Lipizzaner horse! All she talked about in the weeks before her birthday was getting" the white horse with a crown" that she saw at Target months before her birthday.

Here Elli is posing with her doll riding the prized horse while Alliyah checks them out!


We had extra-special guests...Great Grandma and Great Papa Jim were able to come! Here's Great Grandma holding Alliyah. : ) ♥

Happy Birthday, Karin
