Laine's 4th and Ellie's 2nd Birthday Party

Ellie and Laine were both born in April, 3 days apart (and two years).  So we celebrated their birthdays on Saturday, April 26th, which is Laine's 4th birthday.
Here are a couple of picture collages I did of the girls for Facebook.
It's so hard to believe that Ellie is already two and Laine is four!!  Time passes so quickly!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Ellie Kate!
Laine's Collage
Happy 4th Birthday, Lainey-Bug!
Spending a little time with the girls at the house before their birthday party at the park
 Laine got a bike from Mom and Dad early that morning
 Papa showing Laine, on his phone, the picture collage I had put on Facebook of her. For some reason, I didn't get any pics of Ellie that morning in the house :-(.
 Ready to go to the park

 Last year, the party was planned for the park too, but it rained and was a cold April day, so we had to have the party at the house instead.  Thankfully, this year, it was a beautiful day and no rain!
 Cousins Ellis and Ellie

 Great Grandma got to attend the party -- she is holding her great granddaughter, Nora

 Copeland also attended his cousins' party
 The party was a Princess and Pirate theme -- here is one of the cute pirates


 Delicious cupcakes



 Another cousin, Pirate Theo and the girls' grandma, "Nonnie"

 A hot and tired birthday girl!

 The birthday family
 Back at the house
 And a picture of our family, that we didn't get at the Park (Josh is out of state on an extended job)
For some strange reason, and I don't know how it does it, my camera takes pictures and video at the same time and I don't even realize it's doing it.  This is very unedited (so a lot of feet and ground footage), but fun to watch nevertheless, so I'm including it in closing of this posting :-)
 We love you, Laine and Ellie, and wish you many, many more wonderful birthdays!!

I do believe I'm losing my mind!! I had already posted about the girls' birthday parties in the previous post (I just realized it when looking back). For pity sakes! Oh well, they got double coverage this year! Goodness!
