Rachel's 10th Birthday Party

We were finally able to have Rachel's birthday party on Sunday.  Had to move from the Sunday before (when originally scheduled), because Kate got sick.  You have to be flexible when you have kids! :)

It's always so much fun having company.  We've talked about when do we stop having birthday parties for the kids… at what age?  We always invite our families and also our friends and their kids.  We always thought 10 was the magic age, but I'm not ready to stop having people over.  Maybe we continue, but simply say not to worry about gifts after age 10… I will miss the parties, that's for sure.

Here are pictures of the fun day!  Huge thanks to mom and dad and Mary for taking picture.  They took a lot… I just pulled out some of my favorites for this. :)

[silly aunt Christy! :)]

[love that they're such good friends!]

[the candles had colored flames, but it was really hard to tell because the room was too bright]

[yeah… another sweatshirt she'll wear!  this girl is so hard to find clothes for.  she likes comfy, but it has to be the perfect fit and perfect material… ugh.]

[us, and...]

[silly us… this picture kind of scares me!!]

Keep smiling!
