Birthday Party

Since Grandpa and Grandma were here in between Annika and Lauren's birthdays, we decided to have a combo party. Making the "heart" cake.
The umbrella is Lauren's, but it seemed appropriate with her new ballet outfit.

The heart cake. . . Shanda got us an "easy cakes for kids" book that has some great cakes. I showed them to Annika and Lauren and they got to pick which one they wanted (granted, I did encourage one of the VERY easy cakes).


Taking a break for a leaf fight with Grandpa. These are the leaves from my favorite fall tree in Clifton Park. (No, it was not 80 degrees. Annika loves to wear sleeveless shirts and the 70 degree day in November seemed like a perfect opportunity.)


New jackets from Ashley, Deana, and Allison. Let's do the dance of joy.

An annual tradition. . .every year Ashley and Annika get together for a picture and hold up the appropriate number of fingers for the birthday. What will we do next year?

aagghh, getting a lump in my throat. I can't believe she will be 5 tomorrow. She wasn't even crawling when I met her.
