Jayna is 3! and Lincoln is 6!

Happy Birthday Lincoln and Jayna!! We had a great time celebrating yesterday in St. Cloud. There was lots of birthday excitement, and Joel had a blast keeping up with the older kids all day. I think I came through okay with the cakes (at least Lincoln and Jayna seemed to think so). "Yoda" and "Princess" cakes were the requests... see what you think.

Jayna, very happy to pose with her princess cake.

The balloons were a hit!

Grant spent a good deal of time trying to figure out how to eat the balloon:)


Joel was fascinated by Lincoln's pet hermit crabs Grandma Benson got him... don't get any ideas Grandma.....

Joel, not really appreciating us trying to turn him into a princess. I'm surprised he would even drink from this princess cup... he's definitely all boy.
