Admiring the butterfly cake:

Blowing out candles:

Nom nom:

Benjamin got a little jealous that his sister got to blow out candles:

(Yes, it’s in his ice cream)

Olivia got a little jealous that Benjamin got to blow out a candle on her birthday:

(And the cycle continued for a while…)

When they had effectively cleaned their cakes of alll traces of frosting, we brought out the presents!

Presents that Benjamin was convinced were HIS. We told him that they weren’t but Sister let him help open them anyway. Such a sweet sister…

Benjamin played with the sewing cards…

… while Olivia opened up her…

Darbie clothes!!

(Don’t know why, but Olivia decided some time ago that Diapers are Biapers and Barbies are Darbies.)

Benjamin played with the Darbie clothes while Olivia opened up her…

…TAG reading system! (Which we got ON SALE and USED A COUPON for. YAY!)

Later that night I was able to make the gift I had hoped to have made and wrapped by the party and failed.

A baby doll sling! It was so easy, took no more than 15 minutes. And she loved it! Especially since she sees me wear Levi all the time these days. 🙂

Speaking of Levi, I bet you’d like to see some pictures of the cutie.

Look at that face. 😀

I can’t believe two weeks ago, this body fit INSIDE me.

And my favorite picture, saved for last:

I have a gazillion more pictures of the weekend, so I’ll do a Part Two tomorrow, all about the wedding and our beautiful little flower girl!
