Birthday Birthday!!

Last week was our birthday week. Tanner's birthday was on Tuesday. We had dinner with our friends the Andersons and Miners (who were in Kirksville for just a few days). After the dinner we got together with more of our friends for dessert and a little Birthday song singing and candle blowing outing (that sounds weird, but I'm not changing it).

Of course I didn't take any pictures though...whoops. But it was a good day, one of my favorites actually because it is when my most favorite man was born.

And here's a picture taken fairly recently (December...ha). Love that handsome man. 

Mariah's birthday was on Friday and I actually took some pictures. My parents got her a basketball hoop. Tanner snuck into her room Thursday night and put the hoop in front of her crib. I had put some helium balloons on it. The first thing she said when she woke up was "Balloon!" Best purchase of the week.

We had a little party with some of her friends. It was cute to see how excited Mariah got when each of them walked into the house.

Oakley, Lily, Aisling, and Emmit. Beautiful babes 

There was a lot of playing, laughing and book reading. Then we sang Happy Birthday and Mariah blew out her candles. She was very mature about the whole candle thing and blew right when we told her to.

We opened presents when daddy got home. She was very excited to get her books and horse. She also loved licking the frosting off of two cupcakes. It was a happy day!
