Padme's 6th Birthday and Yoda's 2nd Birthday

Five of our six children have summer birthdays. And four of them are in a 16 day time span. This year, the two oldest boys were gone on a mission trip for Yoda's birthday, so we waited to celebrate when they came home on Padme's birthday. We had a joint family party for both Padme and Yoda in the evening, and earlier that afternoon, we had a friend party for Padme. Lots of fun around here! Here are a few pictures of our little celebration.

All the kids with Yoda's basketball cake. That little boy is crazy about balls.

He liked his cake!

Padme's gift from Nana and Papa. She loves the CD with the book and dances around to it.

Yoda's present from Nana and Papa was a set of board books with a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal. He loves them all.

Yoda loves his new trike, although he cannot pedal it without help.

Yoda saw giraffes at the zoo and won't stop talking about them. We got him a stuffed giraffe and he loved it.

Padme got a stuffed elephant that she loved, also.

This picture isn't too clear, but Yoda got a stuffed monkey, and he did not like it at all! He even put it back in the bag it came in. He kept saying, "No, no montey, no, no!" We couldn't believe it and we were all laughing about it. After a few days, he would hold the monkey, but he still doesn't like it!
