Birthday Party!

So, Cooper's birthday is just three days before his little best friend, Ella's birthday...and they both turned 4!! Gail and I decided to have a birthday party for the two of them together, which the little ones were absolutley thrilled about. Gail was kind enough to make everyone an amazing dinner, while I provided the birthday cake...
I took the photo of Ella and Cooper dressed up as pirates last summer, and it made a perfect sail for our Pirate Ship/Fairy cake. I have to admit, I love making the kids' birthday cakes...it is fun to see their reaction! However, I usually always get frustrated at some point in the process and want to throw it out and just buy a cake, but I was happy with the result and the kids were delighted, too!!
Opening gifts is always fun...
Where's Cooper?
He worked his way into the big bag...
...and it was worth it!!
Cooper loved his Lightening McQueen shirt from Aunt Doodoo and Uncle Alan!!
Happy Birthday, Cooper and Ella!!
We love you!!!

The kiddies are getting so big! What have you been feeding them? Growing pills?
