MaSha's birthday!

Last Wednesday, August 5th, was MaSha's birthday. Tara, Leece and Madison were in town and we all got together to celebrate. This was (I'm ashamed to admit) our first time to meet Madison and she is so sweet! I was so glad to finally get to hold her and snuggle her.

We had so much fun at MaSha's house hanging out and having dinner and celebrating her.

Our talented MaSha multi-tasking on her birthday!

Tara holding Madison and introducing Ryan

He loves his family so much!

Ryan was really loving Madison. He was sitting right there with Madison and Tara and touching Madison's hair and leaning in close to her (and kissing her, I think!). So much cousin love!

Cuties! Leece and Stokes

Stokes wanted to wear MaSha's
sunhat that he found somewhere in her room.
He's funny!

 We took the kiddos outside to play for a little while before dinner!

She's a pro at holding and playing with lots of kids at one time!

Dinner time!

Cupcake time for MaSha's birthday!
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear MaSha, happy birthday to you!

Asking for help to blow out the candles

YAY! Leece knew just what to do.

Loving on the baby!

Since we had dinner at MaSha's on Wednesday, everyone came over to our house on Thursday for dinner. Tara, Leece and Madison were still in town and also GranO was here. I love family get-togethers!

 Trying to get a decent picture of all the big(ger) kiddos together. Umm...not an easy task, my friends.

Leaning in for a secret?!?!

HUGS!

William planted a big kiss on Leece here!

My beautiful little niece!

I'm bummed that I didn't get a picture of me and little Madison. That is a missed opportunity for sure. Anyway, we love our MaSha and hope she had a fantastic birthday! We were so glad to get to spend it with her. And we never get enough cousin, aunt and GranO time. The more, the merrier!!! Always.
