Birthdays of 2020

McKinley turned 10 on January 16!  Benji and I took her to Timberline Lodge for a special overnighter (a new tradition we're starting for all of our children when they turn 10)

                                        Landon turned 3 on October 9 with a dump truck dirt cake!  He LOVES all kinds of trucks, but was especially excited about receiving a "big, red firetruck" for his birthday!

What a difference a year makes!  This was taken when he turned 2.

 

For his 2nd birthday not even a Little Blue Truck cake could excite him.  He's signing "all done!"

Piper turned 9 while we were vacationing in Sun River and requested home made sushi and cinnamon rolls!

What a difference another year makes!  This picture was taken when she turned 9.

 

Tessa turned 7 on Thanksgiving!  She didn't want pumpkin pie for her special birthday dessert, so she chose strawberry shortcake.

What a difference another year makes...from 6 to 7!

 

On her 6th birthday she watched her first movie on the big screen...Frozen 2!

Cousins!

For the long, MLK weekend in January (which also coincided with McKinley's birthday) we were blessed by a surprise visit from my brother's girls.  McKinley, Piper & Tessa had no idea they were flying into town.  They finally smelled something suspicious when Gramma and Grampa took off to 'run an errand' and didn't come back after a couple of hours during McKinley's birthday.  Leyton & Ellis rolled up just in time for cake and ice cream!!!  The cousins had a wonderful weekend together.  Of course it wouldn't be complete without a photo shoot with matching tops!
