Happy Happy Birthday

Lauren had her birthday a few weeks ago and it was quite the party.  My sister and her family came down for the weekend and we had a great time with them.  Lauren was so excited, all she talked about was Jacqui being able to come down for her birthday.  Sadly we only got a few pictures. A few days later Lauren had her first friend party. It was a "dress-up party." All the girls came and got dressed up and then we decorated straw hats with ribbon and flowers, played "Pin the Hat on Sally" and the most important part....ate cupcakes.  Lauren didn't really care to participate much in the games (she was quite concerned over me blind folding all her friends) all she wanted to do the whole time was eat cupcakes.  But hopefully everyone had a good time.  All in all it was a fun week!  Thank you to family and friends who helped make it that way!
