Christina's 13th Birthday!

Maddie and Christina at her party!!

 We started our summer adventure this year with my niece Christina's 13th birthday party.  I was half tempted to dig up a picture of her when she was just a little girl and post that up for perspective but I thought I would spare her the embarrassment.  Her party was a lot of fun for all of us.  Jane began to really bond with her uncle Fred at this party.  In fact now she calls him "Big Frog" or "Uncle Frog." We think either or suits him just fine.  Jane had a blast playing with balloons and blowing bubble's with Uncle Fred and all the other children there.  Maddie enjoyed running around with her cousins.  Christina had cake face, which was entertaining.  Maddie, Brianna, and Tammy also turned themselves into streamer mummies!  Christina and her friends played a mammoth game of kick ball. We had to leave a bit early because Jane, being not yet 3, often needs to leave events that are mid day...when she hasn't had a nap.  

After the party we had a little bon-fire with Fred, Crissy, all the kids, Tammy, and Tom.  It was a lot of fun.  I enjoyed  getting to catch up with everyone and it was an amazing way to kick off the summer.
