Mary's Birthday Party

 We headed up to Crofton MD yesterday to celebrate Tim's sister's birthday.  The cousins--Brooklyn and Emily--haven't seen each other for a while, and both were very excited to get together.  Peggy had knee replacement surgery a couple of months ago, so she hasn't gotten to see the grandkids as much as she would like.  It was a great excuse to give Grandma some cuddling time with the babies while I ate a whole plate of food without interruption!

JayBird was not a fan of being the girls' dress up toy.

Brooklyn, looking stylish in her swimming gear.

It was 100 degrees--thank goodness for the baby pool and hose!

Getting in her snuggling time with Uncle John.

Remember those old crowns from Burger King??  I didn't know they still gave those out!

Sesame Street for the kids, Gourmet ones for the adults--I had one of the key lime ones you see in the second row.  Yum!

 Waiting patiently for her cupcake....

 Gourmet cupcakes AND an ice cream cake??  We were in sugar heaven!

It's mine!!  The Cookie Monster one!  It's all mine!!!

Happy Birthday to Aunt Mary!

 Do you think the Cookie Monster cupcake had artificial coloring by chance?
