Genevieve celebrated her 4th birthday with family and friends this year.
First, Aunt Ali, Uncle Eric, and Cousin olli came out for a visit. We had a lot of fun running around with Oliver. Auntie Ali baked Genevieve pink cake (yum!)

I'm not sure why Olli is covering his ears - maybe copying the cousins? Or maybe we had James Taylor cranked up too loud? |

We tried several times to get a picture of all three cousins together. Although they spent lots of time playing, it was nearly impossible to capture a photo. Here, Oliver is not a happy camper |
A week after Ali & Eric's birthday visit, we had a party for Genevieve's cohorts. In all we had about 12 friends from school and elsewhere come over. It was a beautiful day in the back yard, and we had pizza and cake, a wading pool, a pinata, and lots of fun running around.

Mom told me you were back to blogging. Welcome back!
I'm glad Ms. G. had a nice bithday. Oliver now says "Happy Birthday!" regularly.
Also: congratulations to Alex on training wheel-free riding. That post reminded me of the thrilling feeling of the first ride without training wheels.
Also: the new house color looks reaaly good. Bright and fresh. HOA approved?
Also, I kep meaning to send you our camera's photos of the b-day weekend, but keep forgetting. No surprises: there are none with everybody happy and all looking at the camera. Maybe next time we hire a photographer?
