Birthday Bowling

We combined the kids' birthday parties this year since we were in Florida for Nolan's birthday and Quinn's birthday is just around the corner.  Plus, let's be honest, they probably won't let us do this for too many years to come.  Our Ohio winter continues to rage on with cool temperatures so we picked bowling and kept the guest list to family to keep it simple.  I ordered two birthday cakes, two sets of balloons (one girl themed, one boy themed), and called it a day.  With as little preparation as it took, the kids had a blast bowling with their cousins, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.  They bowled for two straight hours, taking small breaks to have a bite to eat, and then we headed back to our house to open presents.  It was a fun night celebrating our two springtime babies!!

This ball may have gotten stuck half way down the alley.

Naomi may have been the most serious bowler of all.  I swear the girl didn't stop and loved to help all of the little kids.

Ella.

Case in point.  Naomi helping out one of the little kids.

Check out their concentration.

Olivia.

Dinner break.

These two have been best buds lately.  Every time we get together with the Wolfers Nolan and Olivia seem to gravitate towards each other.  It's cute.

Four candles for the big guy!

Quinn did a great job blowing out her candles.

Check out these grumpy faces.  Have you ever seen such a sad pout on a little girl?!  This was they way they looked waiting for their piece of cake.

Back at the house opening presents.  Nolan lucked out and received a ton of accessories and trains for his new train table.

Quinn was so tired she could have cared less about the presents.  Naomi was patiently trying to teach her and coax her into opening them.

She finally got into it and opened up all sorts of cute outfits for the summer, Minnie Mouse dress up clothes, and Grammy quilted her a new blanket that she LOVES!!  The second she unwrapped it she wanted to be curled up in it and kept saying, "sleepy."  Poor girl just wanted to go to bed.

More trains.

Quinn all wrapped up in her new blanket with the big girls.
