Birthdays with the Bergers

This weekend we headed to Dallas to see cousin Abby Berger and celebrate her second birthday! Abby is about a year younger than Betsy and a year older than Ella and I foresee MANY fun nights in the future for the three of these little ones. They enjoy each other's company so much, and it's nice for Betsy to have a girl-cousin her age to hang out with, as she has several boy-cousins close-by to play with.

On Saturday we drove up for the party, and it was at a fun location called Kidville. It was by far the most interactive and kid-centered birthday party I've ever been to. It was FANTASTIC. The kids attending were the perfect ages for the activities they had! They made crafts (sunglasses and tambourines!) they got temporary tattoo-stickers, the played in a kid oriented gym, they had pizza and juice and the cake (OMG. It was amazing. Christi, could you just send me ONE more piece?).

After the party we headed back to Abby's house to open presents (where Betsy helped with the opening). The girls played dress up for a while, and then we all headed over to the mall so Abby and Betsy could build-a-bear which was part of our birthday gift for Abs! They were all a little cranky, but they built their bears (Betsy picked a blue bear that sings the Jonas Brother's Love Bug song. Abby picked a traditional bear that sings Happy Birthday!). Then we went out for Mexican food.

Our little monsters slept SO hard after all that excitement...though I did find Betsy curled in a ball on the Berger couch after climbing out of the portacrib in the office!

We had a great time and we are so excited to get to see them in a couple weeks for EJB and ECB's birthday party in December!

I LOVE all this family close by. It's such a gift for my girls to be BFFs with their cousins. Now for a few pictures!
