Lauren's 4th Birthday!








Happy birthday to Lauren Elizabeth! Our "middle" bundle of energy turned 4 today and we celebrated with a big family party at our house. She was very excited to wake up today and know that it was going to be her birthday all day long....she couldn't believe that even after everyone left the party, it would still be her birthday! : ) We ended up having a "Dora the Explorer" Fiesta-themed party, complete with a "build your own" nacho bar! Of course, Lauren's favorite part (besides all of the great presents!) was the "make your own" sundae bar too! Bring on the whip cream (only the spray kind will do for our parties!!!).... We got some good pics of her enjoying the day. You can faintly see on her cheek the scar from a summer "injury" of her slamming her face into an antique school desk down at Grandma & Papa's lake house....OUCH! That happened about a month and a half ago and it still has a mark on her face. So, she's our rough and tumble girl...definitely no fear in her!

Everyone had a great time at the party and the weather turned out to be perfect for outside activities of cornhole, hill-billy golf and the kiddos running around like crazy. We ended the night by taking her to her favorite place to eat....the Mooresville Ponderosa! What a treat....she said it was her best birthday ever! After prayers and kisses, Mommy told her one more time "Happy Birthday Lauren" and she looked up and said "Happy Birthday to you too, Mommy!"....too cute!
