Jenna's Birthday, Take 2

With a mere 12 hours to recover from birthday party #1, it was time to prepare to host party #2 in Jenna's honor.  This time with family.  I'm very lucky because I have lots of great help at home ...

...We're also very lucky because despite living 2 hours away from most of our family, people are willing to make the trip down here to celebrate with us (even arriving right in the middle of a tornado warning and gale force winds!)

Aunts and Uncles and cousins ...

...Grandmas and Grandpas ....

The birthday girl was just as thrilled to celebrate with her family as she was to celebrate with her friends.  Some highlights of the day include cake (or, in this case, cupcakes)

Lots and lots of presents

A brand-new bike from Grandma and Buck

A Barbie Jeep from Grandma and Pa

And some adorable tee-shirts from The Reynolds family (who sadly, couldn't be here with us today)

The best part of the day though, was spending time with our family.  And watching Jenna beam with the realization that these people love her so much that they're willing to spend 1/2 of their day in the car, just so that they could be here to celebrate with her.

We are lucky, indeed!
