A memorable Mother's Day

We spent a lovely Mother's Day morning in New Jersey, not only celebrating Moms but the string of May birthdays for the cousins.  Ellie was excited to get access to her own kid's laptop since Mom and Dad usually don't allow her to play with ours at home. 


Ellie serves as the greeting committee as she enjoys showing off her pink tutu dress.


 Sisters on the move, running around in delight! 


Mom finally gets them to sit down for a picture but it takes a lot of tickling to get out some smiles. 


With just the soon-to-be-birthday girl! 
 

JJ and Evie give Bebe their mother's day gifts and cards.  Evie was rocking a weird expression for most of her pictures today (sigh).
  

Cake time!  JJ and Stan get ready to blow their candles out - Ellie is just figuring out what this whole thing is about.  Did someone say chocolate?!? 


Well, then Evie felt left out so we changed it to "Kid Celebration Day" and gave her a chance to blow out the candles too. 


 Daddy gets ready to feed lucky Ellie some cake - she soon took over by grabbing the fork and going to town.  


I've got this, Daddy!  Thankfully all the chocolate stains would come out later...


Ah, so peaceful to finally get some shut-eye with Mom. Birthdays can be exhausting!
