Birthdays

For the next installment of the mad-dash catch-up on all the Woolcott 2011 activities, here are Thomas' and Mary Alice's birthdays (and continuing on our weird tradition - we celebrated both events twice each...)

Thomas' 6th birthday celebrations - October 2011

Thomas on his 6th birthday - eagerly awaiting his presents.

Mary Alice delivering the presents.

Henry delivering the broom. It's his favorite toy, so it should make a great birthday gift, right?

Thomas and Dad opening up the light saber Thomas had been asking for.


Now for the big birthday party (with the aunts and uncles and grandparents!)

Here is Grandpa Bradshaw - kickin' back and watching the action. Why does he look so entertained?

Here's why... he gave Thomas a can of silly string. Thanks a lot, Grandpa...

Here's Aunt Becca, Uncle Tyler, and Henry watching the action.

Thomas opening up more cool presents.

Henry and Grandpa Bradshaw chillin' while we got the cake ready.

Mary Alice, Sue, and Tyler entertaining themselves, as well.

Tada! The triple level Mario cake that Thomas specifically requested.

Happy 6 year old.

Blowing out the candles. (Actually, we ended up having to relight the candle cause Mary Alice beat Thomas to it... she was THAT into it!)

Mary Alice's 3rd birthday celebrations - November and December 2011

Here is Mary Alice digging into the presents on her birthday.

This is the dress she got. She just had to put it on immediately - before she could even open up her other presents.

Enjoying the rest of her presents.

Dad singing a rousing round of Happy Birthday.

Mary Alice enjoyed that immensely.

Blowing out the candle.

About two weeks later, we got to do a big family party.

Thomas, Aunt Sue, and Mary Alice.

Henry servin' up some of his adorable cheese!

Present time! with Dad, Thomas, Sue, Mary Alice, Becca, Tyler, and Grandpa Bradshaw.

And the view from the other side - with Dad and Grandma Bradshaw.

Mary Alice opening the gumball machine from Grandma and Grandpa Bradshaw.

And attempting to open the nail polish from Aunt Teresa and Uncle Dave. (Mom put a stop to that one pretty quick...)

And more presents...

And more presents...

Mary Alice ready for some cake!

Here it is - as requested. Spiderman chasing Green Goblin.

And clapping after we sang Happy Birthday to her.

Playing with her Spiderman.

Aunt Becca and our cheesy Henry.

She enjoyed eating the cake, as well as playing on it.

Happy birthday, kiddos!
