celebrate – Lori's Life and Other Stuff

Hannah turned 2 today!!!! We started the day by making cupcakes! My helpers were ready to go and in great moods!!

We did spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!

I just love their little smiles and laughs! We had such great fun and they laughed hilariously as I made faces at them and jumped around like a lunatic to get these adorable shots! I would gladly make a fool of myself to make them smile. I love them so much.

I cherish the looks like this when they giggle with each other! LOVE!

Later Jake needed to “fix” my vacuum with his tools! He did a great job!

A bit of the decorations! We blew up 12 balloons – and all 12 were popped within an hour!

Dog pile on Auntie!!!!

Yummy bbq dinner with family! We did grilled corn on the cob, burgers, hot dogs and melon!! SO yummy!

While we miss Eric so much (and important days like birthdays, anniversaries and holidays are so hard to be apart) having family around definitely makes it bearable!)
