Happy Birthday, Aunt Cathy!

Birthday Hugs!

a true ladies night!

snuggling with Grandma

always happy with cake and ice cream!

(I wonder who she got that from?!)

helping Aunt Cathy with her gifts

she was quite pleased with the plastic balloons from the top of the cake

and here's post cake sugar rush...always a joy!

Sophia's favorite song right now is Happy Birthday, and you shouldn't be surprised by the amount of parties we've attended in the last few months. The month of August, however, marks the beginning of the birthday season in our house. Between August and December we have 16 birthdays, and that's just our immediate family. If you count all the others that I send cards, gifts, emails, whatever to...that puts the count up to somewhere around 21-22. When you throw in the holidays, it makes for a busy time! Whew! So, I hope you won't tire of seeing Sophia eating cake and ice cream because there's surely more to come!

As for Cathy's birthday we had an absolutely lovely time! She decided to celebrate at Grandma's place so that she could join in the fun and it was just perfect. Grandma was thrilled and hopefully Cathy was too as she got presents and chocolate cake, two ideal things on your birthday I think! Sophia was very happy to visit Grandma B's two days in a row and had a blast playing with her aunts and Grandmas. It was a nice ladies evening and we happily celebrated another year of Cathy's life! Happy birthday, Cath! We love you!
