The birthday boys

Summer birthdays are aplenty in our household. Daniel, Ken and Luci all have them. Of course they are not documented well because I always forget the camera and when I remember it, I forget to take it out of my purse. For example, I made 3 cakes for Daniel's three birthday parties, but only got one picture... and the cake had melted by the time I got the picture.

If you look closely (and sideways) you can tell that the "theme" for Daniel's birthday was "Daniel's #1" with a foam finger cake. All the Kresl grandkids got a foam finger to wave proclaiming, of course, "Daniel's #1". He shared his party with Sammy this year (give a V for victory 'cause Sammy's turning 2!) On Daniel's birthday he enjoyed a 6 foot long blow up pool for the whole family, followed by a hot tub in the blow up pool. It fits perfectly in the boy's shower! For his last party he enjoyed brunch with the Mahorney side of the family. DANIEL'S #1!!!

For Ken's birthday we enjoyed a family day with lunch at Portillo's. The next day we ventured to West Chicago for a lovely day at the Bohnenkamp's and dinner at Rooster's Barn and Grill where the Bartlett Mahorney's joined us http://roostersbarnandgrill.com/index.html. Here's the birthday boy and then some:

So, I know you're waiting in anticipation of the theme to Luci's birthday. I can't give it all away, but here's a hint...big green fruit.
