Birthday picture sneak peek

Because we were expecting so many people at the party, we hired a photographer to take pictures so Jon and I could enjoy ourselves. We won't have the pictures for a little bit but she sent this yesterday and it's too good not to share.

We sang Happy Birthday to Alex first as he is the oldest. When it came time to blow out Alex's candles, Nate enthusiasticly helped blow them out. While lighting Nate's candles, Alex was pouting about Nate blowing out his candles. I told Alex he could help blow out Nate's candles.

When it came time, Alex was even more "enthusiastic" about blowing out Nate's candles, and ended up jostling the table enough that the cupcake fell off the stand...

I was just thinking the other day how it would be hard to be the photographer at the same time as being the hostess and the mom. PERFECT idea to hire a photographer!! And what a shot... can't wait to see more!

You sing to them separately? My sisters and I had to have our names smooshed into the birthday song. No seperates for us :-) Can't wait to see more pictures!

Just that picture alone was worth bringing in the photographer. I can't wait to see more. Oh, and I'm dying to know how the mess went.
