Birthday Eve

Hi All,
We held some birthday festivities a day prior to the big event, since it was a Sunday and Jim would be home.

The kids got to pick a card each to open on the eve of "birthday eve"....


We made a trip to Meijer Gardens to see what the butterflies were up to. 

But first, we checked out the turtles in the basement aquarium.

Not sure Drew can get his face much closer to the glass!

The butterfly exhibit had yet to officially open, but the specimens were impressive and plentiful!

Butterflies in waiting....

Our best attempt at a family shot....

Drew getting an up close look at one of the garden replicas in the play area.

The kids loved the "hands on" aspect of the replicas.

Back home, stacks of presents waiting to be opened!

Practicing on the new dirt digger. This is gonna be fun!

And a princess castle for the girl.

Holy Hello Kitty! Oh my!

Bree loving her new friend....

Dinner at Peppinos - love, love, love their cheesy bread!

Mama's girl....

Made it home in time for a few more minutes with the new toys, then off to bed. Cake will have to wait!
