Happy Birthday & Baptism

  2 weeks ago we went to my sister's house and brought home her girls for the week. We planned it so they would be here for Erin's birthday and my sister came to pick up her girls and came to Erin's baptism. This was not a "birthday party year", but we had an enjoyable time. 


Erin only received a couple of presents, but her Taylor Swift concert tickets (for October) really sent her into a whirlwind! Shock, excitement, happiness! Good call on Mom and Dad's part. (It also means we have less toys to pick up.)


 She requested chocolate cake this time. Thank you Duncan Heinz for making it special!


Howard's father, Sam, is visiting for Erin's baptism.  The kids adore him and love the stories he tells.


I loved having my sister and her family visit, but their visits are always too short. They each have a little thing called a job, so I guess I'll let it slide.


Erin was radiant in her dress! I'm so happy Lisa french braided her hair (since I don't know how to). It made life easy after she was dunked.


Our attempt at a family picture. Luke was on the other side of the foyer. Who knows what Jack is trying to do? Howie was trying to avoid Erin. This is a typical family photo!


 Erin's dear friend, Danielle, was also baptized. It was her actual birthday and I'm so happy they could share this day together.
