Lauren's Belated Birthday Party

The calendar might have said March, but in our house today, it was Feb. 19. That's because Lauren's long-delayed, twice-postponed birthday party was finally taking place.

As you can see from the picture above, she had a heart/valentine theme going. As is the standard practice in our family, Lauren got to invite as many friends as she was turning years old. So eight of her classmates, friends and cousins were on hand to celebrate. The girls made purses and received diary books customized with a picture of themselves and Lauren (thanks, Aunt Bridget, for running out to make the prints).
