We gathered with family to celebrate Gwyneth’s, Grandpa Bob’s, and Uncle Jeff’s birthdays. All 3 birthdays are just days apart. The Meyer family, the Rewalts (my sister in law, Chriss’ in laws) and YaYa joined us for a backyard BBQ. YaYa blew up the pool, set up the slip n slide, helped get the girls ready, helped with decorations and helped prepare the side dishes. (What in the world am I going to do with out my mom here???) 

Miss Gwyneth loves monkeys — so a monkey party she received!! We had the house and backyard decorated when she woke up from her nap and she loved it. She ran around saying “Ooooh ooooh, aaaaah, aaaaah!”. She is such a sweet girl and she had such a good time splashing around in the pool, playing in her cozy coupe and celebrating with her family.

Time for the monkey celebration for our sweet little monkey….

Wow – I think the banner might have been a bit easier if we would have used just GG

monkeys everywhere!

Gwyneth is this many!

Annabelle actually got in the pool today. She usually just splashes around from the edges.

Sharing a little snack with YaYa. 

Enjoying dinner with her sister and cousin, Reagan

Gwyneth loves chocolate so I made chocolate cupcakes for her and YaYa added little chocolate flowers to the tops. 

Ready to party! 

A bit freaked out when we sang to her, but she made it through with  no tears

This is what happens when you’re the youngest….

Daddy saved the day and Gwyneth got to blow out her own birthday candle

Atta girl! I couldn’t be more proud!

Opening her gift from her San Fran cousins, Maeva and Eliana. She loves dragging these animals around! 

A monkey gift! Heaven!!
