August is like Birthday central at our house. Both kids' big days are only 6 days apart. Usually we have one big party at our house, but different events led to a different set-up this year.
The first party started at my parent's house after a couple hours of moving somethings for my parents.
Tater and some of his new clothes and accessories for school.
Teagan asked for (and got) a tatoo kit. It is actually not as bad as I thought and has been pretty popular with visitors to our house :)
The Schaefer/Von Ahsen crew. If that doesn't say trouble I don't know what does!
We had tatoos out for the kids, but our amazing grandparents decided to humor the kids and get some too. Here they are with their hand, ankle, and wrist "art". We are so lucky to have them and the fact that they are able to join us makes every event so special.
The next stop was Des Moines and the Schaefer/Van Zee party. The adults had celebrated Aunt Lindsay's birthday the night before, so we went for a breakfast party. The kids got their favorite doughnuts and breakfast pizza.
Teagan showing off her new kicks for school. Notice Tate in the background not being able to wait for his sister to get done with one gift before ripping into his next.
Tate and his new shoes. This is how high he can jump just by putting them on :)
The crew! Teagan and Tate have birthdays 6 days apart in August and Will and Kate's are right next to each other in September, so we are lucky to be able to have combo parties and be able to spend time with everyone. Lindsay and Shane were nice to Grandma and Grandpa and had Lauren in December :) We were lucky to be able to have everyone join us this year - even Aunt Jill from the east coast. It worked out that she was back for a visit and could hangout with all of us.
Now that the birthday craziness is over we can focus on school, soccer, dance, piano lesson, football, and whatever else we decide to pack our days with :)
