Happy Birthday Times Three

Today we celebrated three birthdays

our older son's, his wife's and our other daughter-in-law's.

They all have birthdays in October.

So we picked a night we could all get together

and we celebrated with a wonderful dinner and cupcakes for dessert.

I baked three different kinds - white, chocolate, and strawberry

YUM!!!

I'm especially proud of these Owl cupcakes, ha ha
I saw a picture of them online and just had to make some
in honor of the new business I just launched

I adore this picture. Hannah just looks so mature 
with her hair and her glasses, and her daddy is in deep conversation
(I love when our family is together around the table and talking) 

I let the girls create their very own lockets for their birthdays

Then we were back at the table for the dessert 
Meagan, Ethan, Mark 

Manuel, Hannah, Darla, Sarah (Sarah was trying real hard to look at the camera)

Hannah got to spend the night with us
and she insisted on helping me tidy up after everyone left.
She is a wonderful helper!

Then it was bathtime and bed, but first she had to organize her stuff

And now, in her jammies and slippers

By the way, this rocker use to be mine when I was a little girl :0)

Thank you Lord for a wonderful day and for so much to be thankful for!
