Birthday Time!

Monday the 13th: Luther turns 5 years old.
Tuesday the 14th: Daddy turns...well, lets just say that he's a year older now :).

We tried combining the two celebrations this year. A trip to the zoo for Luther...



















(L to R): Olivia, Ben Suster, Duncan, Gabriel, Megan Suster, Tirzah, Luther, Ruby, Chloe


















Orchids :)


















Granddaddy Orangutan (We asked Olivia beforehand which animal she was excited to see...her reply was "the Grandfathers". We weren't quite sure what this meant...until we reached the Orangutans.)



















Mr. Giraffe (My neck gets tired holding my head up. I can't imagine my neck getting tired from holding my neck up!)

























A REAL Bald Eagle!


















"Playing with Wolves"


















Sleeping Beauty


















Tigers or "Gagoos" (Duncan once named a stuffed tiger he had "Gagoo"...and so it has been ever since :). Funny how things stick. )


















The Birthday Boy and Mother


...and a big Italian dinner for daddy. (We've decided that combining birthdays is hard because by the time Daddy's birthday came around, we felt like we should still do something even though the celebration in honor of the event had already taken place.)

They were both showered with gifts...



















Ball-catching...

























Bike-riding...

























...and Book-reading

Daddy's gifts actually had something in common...

























National Treasure...



















...and a National Treasure :)

























The Birthday Boys!!
