Butterfly Birthday

Happy Birthday Kelly!
Kelly and Reece flying like butterflies.

Paul and Noah as Butterflies.

We celebrated Kelly's birthday with the cousins in Kansas and with Reece, Nicholas, and Blake. Reece has been a sweet friend to Kelly every time she is in Kansas. Last visit, Kelly was scared to go to children's church, but Reece held her hand the entire way down the isle to children's church, and sat by her the entire time. Reece's little bro is Blake named after the Blakes, and her big brother is Nicholas who is Landon's birthday bud, born 3 days before him.


Kelly wanted a butterfly birthday mainly because she has seen pictures of her 1st birthday which was a butterfly birthday because it matched the napkins, and the pinata. Well, I think she thinks she missed out since she didn't get to smash the pinata, so she wanted to try this butterfly thing again. We read the very hungry caterpillar in Hebrew since that was the only version we could find. Then we did a butterfly relay race.


1st leg -Leaf eating contest (lettuce)


2nd leg - wrap your friend in a cocoon


3rd leg - bust out of your cocoon and fly like a butterfly


Final leg - enjoy some nectar from a flower or a grandmother.


See pictures below.

Noah wondering when this would be over.

Finally, we all had a great time smashing the pinata. It was a great day with family and friends.

WE Love you sweet Kelly!


Happy Birthday Kelly Grace!
P.S. Thank You Lauren Blake for taking all of these wonderful pictures. You are really doing a great job as a photographer!
