Birthday Boys and The Nickels Visit Louisville

The Nickels visited Louisville, so that Jackson could attend camp with Kids Cancer Alliance. This meant that we got to hang out with Aunt Heather, Caleb and Emily for a couple of days. Although Jackson was at camp for most of their visit, we were able to see him on Sunday for a combined birthday celebration for Carl and Granddaddy.

Although the big birthday celebration was fun, I think the boys and I had the most fun celebrating with Carl here at the house on his actual birthday. It was a pretty low key celebration, but we had lots of fun. We had dinner together, ate birthday brownies, gave his presents, etc. He really liked his "party" and I think we made him feel pretty special, which was definitely the goal. He is a great father and husband, so we certainly wanted him to have a great birthday!

The boys were SO excited for Daddy to come home! They waited on the front porch so that they could see him come home, but then ran inside and hid so that could "surprise him!"


We made a birthday brownie and Preston insisted on helping me decorate it!


They boys made Daddy an awesome birthday card, with a little help from me.


These boys sure do love Daddy!


Preston continues to crack us up with his "cheese" smiles!


Once the boys went to bed, it was time for Daddy to play with his gift! A Lego Millennium was just the right gift!


Pool fun!


Although Preston can jump in and swim to the side of the pool by himself, he REALLY liked jumping to Caleb.

Emily and Aunt Rachael


Evan had lots of fun playing with his cousins at the party!


Preston wanted to help Granddaddy open his gifts and then Emily and Jackson joined him.


Evan, Emily and Caleb made a HUGE mess, but they sure had fun!


Granddaddy and Preston enjoyed playing together, which they always do.
