Cupcake wrappers by Orange1

As most of you know, we recently celebrated our boys' 2nd birthday! Wow, doesn't time just fly by? Here are a couple of pictures of the cupcakes that our very dear friend, Rebecca, and I made for their big FARM YARD party.

Rebecca designed and made all of the cupcake wrappers and picks that you see in the photo above. Aren't they just great? Please stop by her etsy shop and check out all of the great party items that she has listed for sale. You can visit her here. Be sure to tell her that the Kesler Crew sent you!

Real photos!

Here are some "REAL" photos of our boys that were taken back in November by our dear friend and photographer, Chris Jenkins. He and his son met up with us one afternoon while we were home during Thanksgiving and Chris got these wonderful photos of our boys. Chris is a dear friend of ours and we have a TON of his photography work around our house. Please be sure to check out his blog page when you have a chance to see some of his other work.

Chris, we can't thank you enough for these great photos! You were a champ to put up with us on this day. I had been up since 3am shopping and our sweet boys were WAY past their normal lunch time. It's hard enough to get picture of our triplets on a "normal" day, but Chris went above and beyond our expectations when he was able to capture these!


This is Chris' son, assistant, and our friend!

This one is my favorite! The boys are standing in front of a glass door and Chris was on the outside taking this photo. P's face is smooshed against the glass - just adorable!
