Idaho : Birthday celebrations, cousins, crafts

Our travel day was a little shorter this trip because Grandma Irene was visiting a new great-grandchild in Arizona. We missed having dinner with her.
When we got to Grandma's house Helena was given some birthday gifts. A book, finger puppets, and a fantastic red cape sewed by Grandma. It's going to get a lot of use in their make-believe play.
We made our usual visit to the library for story time. And it was craft day so the kids got to make a tissue paper fish. We also checked in on the live fish in the library and saw the fattest koi.  
Aunt Jennifer organized a birthday party for the little girls and Mark. Millie loved her birthday tiara.
She opened presents like a pro.
 Birthday buddies.
 Balloons and the cakes that Jennifer made.
 Aunt Maryann is always a favorite with the kids.
 Aunt Becky arranged a serious crafting session. They are decorating picture frames.
Henry is pretty sure he needs a tablet just like cousin Tony.
Grandma Irene joined us for one night, it was so good to see her again.
A busy and fun trip.
