Birthday Pics

Thanks to all of you who made my birthday so special! For those of you who weren't there (Stephie, Catherine, Mariah, etc.) - wish you could've been there! I'm afraid the last minute plans and the fact that the three of you live further away made it so it didn't quite work out. Here are a few pics from the bowling alley...

We shared lots of laughs...

Ah yes. Here I am. The birthday girl. I have to wonder what Ben is doing in the background. It looks like he was trying to do bunny-ears but was too far away. :)

Some crazy little brothers.

I caught Lauren in the act of sneaking up on Emily. What a face!

"Cheese goo!" (Another Lauren-ism :) ) I would try to explain futher but its one of those things where you have to be there to appreciate the humor. :)

Dinner was hotdogs and nachos. Yummy.

Some of us amused ourselves by putting grapes under our upper lips and making silly faces...

Opening presents from my sweet friends...

My birthday cake. It was yummy!

Ben and I enjoying a conversation. We covered a variety of interesting topics - including the "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" and a debate on wether Hot Tamales are less spicy if you squish them before hand. :)

It has become a tradition to take pictures of our fashionable foot-wear at the bowling alley.
