Birthday High Jinks

This month our nephew MRK and our niece LL had birthdays. Going back to school, the summer ending, and having a birthday in one month all makes for a lot of adventure and high jinks.

LL turns 5

Here is LL with her 12 Dancing Princess cake:

All that effort requires food - feeding the masses:

FMK helps celebrate her big brother's birthday. She looks angelic, but really she is the female version of my brother at age 3 and a half, enough said. Sometimes you dress like a lion to help celebrate a birthday:

Apparently the whole gang thought it would be a good idea to dress up:Happy Birthday MRK:After all the cake and play and fun you sometimes just have to relax:

And just a reminder to be thankful for good drivers and sturdy SUVs, last year when we all piled into the huge honking family SUV to attend MRK's birthday party we has a small mishap on the way. I ended up looking like this:

For a while I was sporting the very fashionable "three eyebrow" look, but I am much improved. We are very glad that we made it to the birthday bash safely this year. Happy Birthday MRK and LL.
