Trip to Alabama Part 2: Shark Party

Taylor and Russell celebrated their birthdays the week before we drove to Alabama. Our sweet family out there remembered this and showered plenty of special attention on them after we arrived. I was especially touched and amazed by my sister in-law Jill, who offered to host a shark party for them! She, who so far has four little girls and no boys (not to mention a real talent for hosting events) went crazy with plans for a very BOY themed morning. And we loved it.

There were picture perfect shark decorations. Impressively decorated shark/beach cupcakes and shark themed snacks. Lots of water activities. Birthday presents. And kids. Lots of kids. All of Taylor and Russell's 18 cousins were there! Did I mention that they were showered with attention? They loved it.

Here's Russell taking time to cool down...it was H.O.T.

All 20 Norris grandchildren pictured here, except for newborn baby Kaitlin. Quite the crowd, huh?

Thank you again to Jill and all Norris family for giving this huge gift to our boys. It was the party of a lifetime!
