a weekend to celebrate

We've been celebrating Rebecca's birthday all weekend around here. 

Friday was her actual birthday.  Rachel had school and Daddy had to work, so it was a pretty normal day, but after dinner we sang happy birthday to her and she had a cupcake (after Rachel helped her blow out her candle). 







We gave her the birthday presents from us.






Both Rachel and Rebecca liked the picnic set and played nicely with it together for awhile.


Saturday Grandma and Grandpa came.  We put together her new water table from Grandma and Grandpa.  I don't know who likes it more--Rachel or Rebecca! (I think Grandma has pictures of this....hopefully I can get them.  We took video, but no pictures.)

Sunday was party day.  Both sides of the family were here to celebrate with a cookout, presents, cake, ice cream, and lots of playing outside with cousins (for the bigger kids, anyway!). 








Monday we celebrated Memorial Day with a picnic.  Later we blew up Rebecca's new pool (a birthday present) and she "swam" for the first time.  Rachel's rather big for this pool, but she enjoyed it anyway! 









Rachel claimed to be a "water fountain statue."


Rebecca's looking up at Daddy on the deck, but it looks like she's saluting Hitler....

It was a fun family weekend celebrating our no-longer-a-baby girl.
