Happy Birthday Opa

Sunday we had the opportunity to travel down and celebrate Opa's birthday which was yesterday. I love that my kids get the special experience of knowing their great grandparents so well. Noah was so excited to see Opa waiting the few hours to leave was like torture to him.'

At one point I didn't know where Noah was and found him with Opa waiting for the cuckoo clock to go off, Opa had changed the time so it would go off for Noah to see.  These memories for him with his great-Opa are precious to me.

"Happy Birthday!" 

Alaina impresses me in heels she carried a lit birthday cake without a second thought, I can't even walk in them.

 I realize the next photos are basically all the same but the sequence of trying to get a photo was to cute and funny to not share.

Noah had to put his arm around Oma like Opa did, he is always trying to be as big as everyone else. 

Lily was ready for a nap and kept yawning instead of cooperating for a picture

 Lily with Aunt Alaina. Lily loves her aunt Alaina always but when she spoke french to her that night she went nuts with excitment, guess babies like french.

 I love this sweet picture of Lily with her Grandma and Great-Oma

Happy Birthday Opa, we love you!
