Surprise Party For Lita At Nathalie's House

Here are some older photos from July that I forgot to post!  Nathalie held a surprise party for Lita at her house in Ottawa and invited all of the cousins up for a nice lunch!  Here are some photos.

Nathalie, Lauren, and Kitteh hanging out in her awesome back yard.

 April and Ella!

 Parker in the middle of saying something.  Probably, "Hey Daddy, don't take my picture."

 Another photo of April and Ella.

 Ella and Darryl.

 Lauren eating her finger.

 Parker being a goof and posing in the doorway.

 Lauren and Philippe enjoying some conversation.

 This sequence makes me laugh.  After her own big hug, Lauren jams Kitteh into Philippe's face for some reason.  I guess she thought he also needed to hug the cat.

Lauren, Philippe, Levi, and Ella. 

 Levi, Lauren, and Puppo (or Purple Hippo).

 Parker making Lauren laugh.

 Lita arrives and is surprised to see everyone!  Hooray!

 Kellen enjoying a snack.

Lauren enjoying some delicious water. 

 Mackensie was on Lauren duty for lunch and patiently fed her little bits of food.  April said that she used to do this for Mackensie when she was a baby.

 MORE BERRIES, MACKENSIE!  FASTER!

 Nathalie has an awesome splash pad across the street from her house!  The pool is about 2 feet deep and the kids had a blast playing in it.  Here's Parker showing me his super jump into the pool.

Parker and Kellen were playing a train game or something with a pool noodle. 

 Checking out the play structure.

 More pool noodle train.

 A little bit of tire swing.

 Philippe and Nathalie (who are engaged and getting married in Florida next summer!  w00t!)

April and her grandparents at the park. 

 April's cousin Kenny talking to Parker, probably about advanced physics or math. 

 Claire, Kellen, and great Nana and great Pampa.

 Here's the photo Claire took while I was taking this one!

 On the way back to Nathalie's house Kellen stopped to pick some flowers for Claire.

 Parker eating some gummies, although I don't think he liked them.

 Haaaaappy biiiiiirthday tooooo Litaaaaaaaa!

Surprise!  It's a cake!

  

  

 Enlisting help from the kids to blow out the candles.

 Great Pampa telling Parker to sneak some icing on his finger.

 Kellen enjoying some cake.

 Kellen and Parker hanging out and being forced to sit still for a photo.

 Lauren and great Pampa having some quiet time.

Lauren looks like she's concentrating pretty hard!

Thanks again for the awesome party, Nathalie!
