Happy Birthday Zekey and Emmy!

Due to many different sets of circumstances, we were unable to get together to celebrate Zeke's birthday (January 6th) and Emmy's birthday (March 4th) until this past weekend. It was a long time coming, but everyone was there and it was a fun, special weekend. The kids were so much fun. I've included several pictures from our weekend together.
I caught Emmy and Zeke's cousin Zoe doing a little jig in front of the mirror. It was so cute because she didn't know anyone was watching her.
The table was set and we were ready to eat.
Aunt Kelley grabs Emmy for a special birthday picture.
Emmy loved her presents!
Emmy found the magic string that released the pinata!
Everyone dives for the candy!
Zeke and Elijah play with his racetrack from Aunt Andrea and Uncle Jon.

Pretty as a princess!
Chick Magnet~ You got that right! What a doll!
Zeke (With a little help from Zoe) blows out the candles on his race car cake made by Grandma Syswerda.
Emmy blows out the candles on her Barbie cake (also made by Grandma Syswerda).

Elijah and Cousin Noah pose for a special picture with the birthday girl.

After the party, our family headed to the hotel for a little fun in the pool. Uncle Jon give Zeke a birds eye view.
Daddy and Emmy have a sweet moment.
Zeke's a wild man. No fear here.
Elijah is quite the swimmer.

The Grates!
