Happy Birthday Kylie and Kristie!

This past week both our nieces had their birthday. On Friday when we got to Rob and Nicole's we had a 1 year old, a two year old, a three year old, and a four year old all under the same roof! Kristie turned one last Wednesday and Kylie turned 4 on Saturday. We partied hard on Saturday to help them celebrate. It was nice to see everyone. . .it had been a while!

Rob told me that Kristie hardly ever smiles for pictures. Here is my collage of pictures that I took of her in the span of about an hour. I wish she would smile more!

Kristie thought that the gift from Grandma and Grandpa Nyhlen made a nice cup holder!

Here is Uncle Tyler and Kristie hanging out at the YMCA during Kylie's party.

Kylie, her cousins, and her friends all played hard in the YMCA Playland. They all had a blast!

Zoey thought that Kristie was just the cutest thing ever! We all agree!

A rare shot with everyone looking at the camera. . .

Kylie and Zoey doing a little reading together. It made my heart happy to see how well they get along--even though they don't see each other that often. Hopefully we can get the cousins together more in the future.

but it was just too cute not to post!)
