Our Babies Turn 5!

October 12th was Gavin and Collin's 5th Birthday!   We had  a race car party for them with lots of their friends..it was really really fun!  I rented a slot car track and a bounce house..Everyone had a great time.  There were tons of kids so it was a little crazy, but thats what makes it fun right? 

The Invitation
The Party Favor Bags
The Race Track!
Collin Blowing out the candles...make a wish!
Yum..Hot Dogs, chips and Apple slices
The most chaotic moment...opening 40+ presents with the help of all of the party guests.  Cards, presents,  gift cards, paper, bows were everywhere.  Thanks to Amanda for writing everything down..hopefully we got it all.  So, if you get a thank you note for a board game and you gave Star Wars Lego's..you'll understand!
Singing Happy Birthday to Gavin!
Best Buddy's Hendrix and Logan..Taking in all the action
My Mom was a LIFESAVER!  I couldn't have pulled it off without her! 
A Huge THANKS to Kris for all of his help...and no complaints when I interrupted his work all week with party help and questions. xoxo
The Best Neighbors...The Cavenys..Chris, Amy and Logan
My sweet Grandma came to help with Hendrix during the party 
Happy Birthday Baby Boy's..We LOVE you!!
We were all reminiscing about the day the twins were born.  We all remember it so well because it was really so exciting to have 2 Babies arrive!  They bring us so much JOY and are getting so mature and grown up, it is fun to watch them grow but also a little sad.   They are Best Friends  and always watch out for each other...their bond as twins and brothers is so strong..I hope they stay that way forever.

What fun! I can't believe they are 5. Of course I can't believe Bradley is a junior in high school. What a cute family. I love your posting and making life real! Love, JoAnn

Happy Birthday Gavin and Collin! I can't believe they are 5 either! Hendrix and Logan look so cute! They look like they are afraid of what is going on around them! It was a fun party!
