This weekend we had the twins' 5th birthday party AND we had tons o' visitors from Utah. Grandma Cathryn, Spencer's sister Melissa, her twins (Lyla and Olivia), and Spencer's brother Josh and his son (Royan) all came to meet the new addition and to celebrate the twins' birthday.
The Pajama Party didn't quite measure up to the Camping Party of last year but it was tons of fun. Given the circumstances, we kept it pretty small--family, neighbors, friends-so-close-they're-family, and one other friend each. The kids all layed in the sleeping bags while we read pajama themed stories, they played sleeping bag tag, we decorated pillow cases, and they played pin the pajamas on the penguin. Loads of fun and barely controlled chaos. Just the way it should be right?
*Make it through the end of the pics and there is even a bonus pic of Keeler. Don't worry, more posts and pics about him to come soon.

6/8ths of the Anderson family cousins. So fun. So wild. So cute. Like the holds the big twins have on the little twins? Nice.

Isabel in her new nightgown (complete with modesty-insuring-bike-shorts underneath), Fancy Nancy legwarmers & ballet slippers, and her new baby doll and carrier (like mom's).

Holding up the "pin the pajamas on the penguin" game that Uncle Josh drew.

Just before total chaos took hold (also known as "present opening"). I tried to get a second chair and they politely declined. They wanted to share the chair so they could sit together. :)

They both stared so intently at their cakes while we were singing. I'm pretty sure they were both strategizing their air stream so as to maximize their odds of getting all candles out.

Milo decorating a pillowcase. One of the boys drew a target on his. Only, when he told us that, we somehow thought he said toilet. We've been laughing about it all weekend. His parents set us straight today. A target is funny but a toilet was way funnier.

Zach, Milo and Cooper laughing hysterically over Cooper's placement of the penguin's pajamas.

Isabel in the midst of "sleeping bag tag".

Milo decorating his chocolate cake.

Isabel decorating her banana chocolate chip cake (best ever--you need this recipe!). Note the cute, cute aprons courtesy of Grandma Kim.

Adorable. Don't know what else there is to say. Adorable.

I'm so jealous. I wish I could have gone too. I love pj parties.
What a fun idea! I love the pajama party. Kami's birthday is next month, maybe we will do that! And yes, adorable. =)
sounds like fun! I am glad they had a great birthday...can't get better than getting a new baby brother as a gift right? How fun to have all that family around. I do have a little somethin somethin for the twinners so when things settle down let us know when we can come out and visit ya'll. He is such a sweet little guy and already looks bigger and different.
Happy Birthday to the twins and congratulations on baby Keeler. They are all so stinkin' cute. We can't wait to meet him.
Glad you survived the crazy fun-filled weekend!
