Sunday Evening

While I was in Bozeman Sunday, Rich, Heidi, & James hung out with the other Melins at Grandma's house. Addie and I joined them when we came back. The kids all picked carrots out fo Grandma's garden and acted like silly rabbits.TJay, Heidi, Addie, Danny, & Summer eating bread (to wash down the carrots)

Later, we all helped James celebrate his birthday with cake & ice cream.

Two silly hats on James

We stripped him down in preparation for him tearing into his own cake... Here's Addie giving James some tips
So excited about his cake!

A quarter of the cake is gone and James is PURE JOY!
...and he's getting alittle loopy by the time the cake is mostly gone!

Happy Birthday, Handsome Boy!

After cake, it was time for Norwegian Golf!

Don't even ask me what Addie is doing in this picture!

She looks like a crazy tomte!

After some golf, James opened a gift and some cards...
Addie shows him his cool card from Marianne Stoen (so cute and handmade!)

Daddy helped James open his gift--a barn and animals form IKEA--but that's the last James saw of them after his sisters and cousins comandeered them (Heidi still onl y lets him have the mommy horse--I guess I'll have to give him something of his OWN on Wednesday).
See? There goes Summer with the horse and Heidi with the cows.
At least they let him keep his new Dinosaur shirt!

A great ending to a fun weeked! Thanks to Jess & Kelli for the Golf game and for taking good care of the kids while I was working Saturday. We love our Melin cousins! XOXOXO
