Look who came to see us on their spring break this weekend!  Yay for impromptu visits and cousin fun.  They were able to join us to celebrate Allie's birthday this weekend at Hot Skates.  

 Loaded pancakes for breakfast!

 A lot of Allie's friends joined us for an afternoon of arcade, pizza, cookie cake and of course skating!  I was also happy that everyone safely finished the party without injury!

 Allie got to go to the DJ booth and request a song.

 Round and round...it was a busy afternoon!

 Pepperoni pizza to eat and  fruit punch and lemonade to drink!

 Make a wish!

 Big hugs from the big sis.

 Games and tickets

Allie had a great party and weekend with family.  We enjoyed Bub's for dinner on Saturday.  I can't believe she will be double digits on Monday!

 Isabelle has been growing out her hair and got a much needed cut (and thinning) by Meg.  She just looked beautiful with it curled too in the afternoon light!  

 Juliette played all afternoon at the creek and was warming up with some hot chocolate.

The girls are beyond the perimeter of Eve's fence and she patiently watches and waits...but isn't too happy about it!

Its a double dog birthday party celebrating Eve and Emme's belated 2nd birthday.  These 2 labs bring so much joy to their families!  It was great to see our friends and spend a Sunday afternoon with  them.
