ohana!

A rare moment when we were successful in herding all three kids into one smiling spot, and keeping them there for several entire seconds. The smiles are thanks to Grandma (that's me) jumping up and down. As you can see, the kids are all dressed up. That's because we were celebrating Michaela's third birthday, with a third third birthday party in her honour (yes - third birthday, third party). I think Michaela is competing with her Auntie Meghan for the Birthday Attention title, because although this party took place on her Daddy's actual birth-day, the singing of Happy Birthday, dear Michaela definitely won out over the rounds of Happy Birthday, dear Jonathan. And I don't recall a single Happy Birthday, dear Meghan, taking place during the entire evening - Meghan, I think you may be losing your touch. Missing from this photo is Jamie Ruth (and her Mommy and Daddy), who called us all the way from England to wish Happy Birthdays to the whole Cara/Jonathan/Michaela family (Cara's birthday is also coming up)! So along with our phone-in family, we were all together for this very special celebration.
