Birthdays and Grandchildren

While we were in Charlotte, three of our grandchildren had birthdays.  Erin is now 1, Ella is 3, and Caleb is 5.  If you ask Tonya she will tell you that Sherree and I both helped, but Sherree really helped much more that I did.  Tonya always has themes for her kids' parties and these were no exception as you can see below.

Erin was a Princess

Yea!  I'm one

Princess and her court

Is this mine?

Here I go.

Am I in trouble?

Hmm... Good

Oh boy a book!

My Grammie is beautiful.  Him, not so much.

Mommy's forever baby!!

Ella loves butterflies so the theme was butterflies.

Remember the theme thing.  All these butterflies are made of chocolate, including the antenna.

Ella greeted everyone with their very on butterfly wings, which were a big hit.

What would butterflies be without flowers?

And of course there were gifts to be opened.

and finally there is Caleb who turned 5.  He and his brother Joshua are really into the Mario Brothers' games on the Wii and on their DSI's, so the theme was the Mario Brothers.  Tonya made hats for each of the arriving guests.  Half had red hats for Mario and the other half green for his brother Luigi.  All the games and party favors were centered around the Mario Brothers' video games.  All the characters were there, King Boo, Bullet Bill, Princess Peach and Yoshi.

and then there was the after party!

Followed by the after, after party, where everyone relaxed with Grandpa Nuzum, while King Boo looked on.

These are the last of the Nuzum grandchildren for this year.  January 25, 2012 Joshua will turn 9 and the Nuzum birthdays will begin anew.

Our Grandson in Lubbock, Texas is turning two on October 8th.  Unfortunately we will be unable to attend his party this year but we wish him the very best birthday ever.  Plus in mid May he will be welcoming a new brother or sister.  Sherree and I continue to be blessed with beautiful grandchildren.
