Cousins

A birthday celebration
FOR... cousin Ivan's 3rd birthday
WHERE.... Grandma & Grandpa N's
WHEN.... Day before Easter

Lily, Ivan (the birthday boy), and Ty.......oh yea... they are licking icing off the cake...

Their tiny partner in crime BABY NINA (as Lily and Ty call her) is convinced this is something she needs to help with

Ivan and Ty playing grandma's piano.....
The lighting was a bit off in this photo and I am not sure that my attempts to fix it with a photoshop application helped either...nonetheless I really like this picture and love these handsome little guys.

I was so excited to get some photos of baby Nina....AND......she didn't ask for a jelly bean like
Lily and Ty do after picture taking.....
Oh she is tooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful, beautiful photos. Wow, a "Nina". I never hear that name and it's what I wanted to name Meiying (still not completely approved yet by the family). I loved reading it on your blog! So pretty; she's adorable; loved the photo of her w/ her tongue sticking out. That cake is so amazing. Did you create it? How are you all settling in? Glad to see the pictures.

Mike will now want this cake for his birthday - maybe with a real tractor! It's so cute. Nina is beautiful, with her wide eyes and sweet face. Love the picture of the children licking the frosting from the cake - and Nina wanting to be a part of it! Happy Birthday to Ivan.

Love, Auntie M.
