Sweet Siri Bird

We had a sweet time celebrating Siri's actual birthday just the four of us, and then this afternoon celebrated Siri's birthday with a bit more pizazz.

As it did for Annie's birthday, the rain kept us indoors until the very end, but we had a great time visiting with friends.  Annie said it well as I was saying goodnight to her tonight and thanking her for helping make a nice party, "I had fun playing with Siri's friends, and Annie's friends, and Daddy's friends, and Mommy's friends."  Many of us were recounting the birthdays we've all celebrated together in the past three years, and how much our lives have all changed, and how wonderful it's been to share it together.

Our Siri girl loves birds, so we had a celebrated with bluebirds.  The kids painted birdhouses, and our good friend Emily decorated an amazing bird nest cake.  Eric grilled in the rain, and the kids played all over the house.

Siri loved the cake, diving in with absolutely no hesitation.  It took just a moment for the bird's head to be grabbed off and stuffed in her mouth, and she did her best to figure out how to get the whole nest into her mouth.

As everyone was getting ready to leave, the sun came out and it was a beautiful evening.  We played outside for just a bit before heading in to get our girls ready for bed.
