Baby Reid and More Birthday

 We spent the weekend in Houston with Parker's side of the family.  We went down to meet the newest member of the family...Reid Hamilton Schleider. 

 Parker and sweet Reid...

While we were there, we also celebrated Kate and Brynlee's birthday with the Hamilton clan.  They opened their presents on Saturday morning...

CC got both of the girls slap watches since they are always fighting over hers.  These were a huge hit!

Sweet Brynlee was so excited to get to open presents.  She has been watching Kate open presents and couldn't wait til her birthday...

Hopper Ball!!!

 Quinn wanted a turn...

Brynlee LOVED holding Reid.  She was beaming the whole time.  It was a REAL baby doll!  So sweet.

Good-bye hugs...

 and kisses...

 

 

Kate and Brynlee

The other day, in the midst of our photo shoot fail, I tried to get a few sibling pics.  No one was really cooperating but I thought these turned out sweet. 

The Birthday Girl

 

To say Kate was excited to be "the birthday girl" would be an understatement. Tuesday she got to bring the special snack to school. Her class sang Happy Birthday and she got to make a special "4" necklace. 

Wednesday morning, her real birthday, we had a little family celebration...

 

Kate got to open her presents.  Brynlee gave her this Curious George, which was a big hit! 

 

And we had purple, blue, and pink chocolate chip pancakes!

The birthday girl...

So excited to eat her blue and purple pancakes...
