the official Birthday photo

1...we are officially Half a Decade

The  weather was less than cooperative this morning, as we began our 5th Birthday celebration. 
Raging Tides, Wind and Rain - all decided to arrive on Saturday and carryover 'til today.  We still had a house full of people to celebrate with us!  We boiled Shrimp/Corn/Potatoes and Seafood Salad. 

Following Lunch- we had our favorite dessert: Birthday Cake!!


We each get our own cakes!


Maggie born first: 4:39 pm


James born second: 4:40 pm






Despite the ROUGH waters, we were able to collect many a sea life!
