Since Marcail and Donovan's birthdays fall so closely together (3 days), it is easiest at this point to do double birthday parties.... which I figure I should enjoy while it lasts. Eventually, Marcail will probably want pink princesses and "girls only." And Donovan will want water- gun fights and arm wrestling contests,----- or something------ (what DO boys want for their parties, anyways?). Right now, Marcail is just as content with blue as Donovan is with pink, and they have the same bunch of friends from church. That makes it easy for me! And they loved it too, which was the most important thing for me.
It was nice that Grandma could be here for the party, too. Planning a party is work, no matter how how "simple" you make it, and help is always gladly accepted! We had a great time.
The only complaint I got at the party was that it is hard to stick to a diet when you come to our house. I have to admit, I take pride in that : )
Everyone hangin' out with food and sun. Perfect.
Pool time!
Having fun playing outside. It was gorgeous weather!
Donovan's cake was vanilla ice cream between oreo and brownie layers, with a chocolate sauce on top. Yummy!
Marcail's cake consisted of cherry-chocolate ice cream between oreo and a brownie layers, with a berry delicious sauce on top. Sorry, I couldn't resist the joke : )
Present opening time!
How cute is this fireman's hat?!?!
They got a lot of help opening their gifts...
Marcail and "Can-Can." Gil was taking pictures at this point, so we have quite a few with Candace in them : )
The busy afternoon is winding down...
They just love these puzzles! I need to find some more with numbers....
Sharing a smile
Grandma helping us clean up afterwards. Actually, who am I kidding? She cleaned up soooooooo much after the party! What a blessing for an extra pair of hands. Especially hers : )
He better enjoy those precious seconds with Marcail's new doll, "Bella," before she catches him playing with it! I'll let your imagination tell you the end of this story; it'll be pretty close to accurate : )

Happy birthday! What great pictures... and videos! Thanks for sharing. Gosh, I know everyone has always told us that time flies... but they're actually right!
I totally understand the double birthdays... Rebekah and Rachel have no way around it... Maggie and I don't have much choice either... and poor Lauren nearly shares her birthday with Christmas. Oh well, we'll have a great time of it anyway! :)
Love & miss you guys!
