One more celebration, or is it two?

 Back to Portland for the last of our celebrations, and the halfway point to home. First of all, modeling show to entertain Grandma!
















Weiner Dog pajamas, YES!
 It was New Year's Eve, so we stayed up to ring in the New Year (well some of us just barely made it). Josh woke Jaelyn up to wish her a Happy Birthday, to which she sat up, grinned, and laid back down. After opening a couple gifts that morning, we hit the rode home. However, we had a surprise in store for Jaelyn, and met up with Uncle Jeff and Auntie Lorrie at the Rainforest Cafe. I can't remember who told me my girls would love that place, but they were right! To quote Jaelyn, "This is the best birthday ever!"
Yes, silly Jaelyn, once again!
The birthday group...(and boy, do I look tired!)


Always grinning!



The following day we celebrated with more bowling and more Zhu Zhu pets:)







This summer in China I bought another sparkling birthday flower candle so that Jaelyn could have the same excitement that Kaia had on her birthday. It didn't disappoint! Check this out....

We're thankful for wonderful family and memories, but it's good to be home and back in our own beds once again:)

They look adorable modeling their hats! Save that one for rehearsal dinner slide shows!

Oh Toni what beautiful pictures. I can't believe how big the girls are getting (and my niece too, for that matter).
Best wishes for a most Happy New Year.
