Happy Birthday, Aunt Liz!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I LUCKED OUT in the Sister-In-Law department. She is absolutely one of my best friends, and I can't imagine our family without her in it. I love love love that we are raising our sweet girls together. It is SO nice to be able to complain about share the joys of motherhood with each other. Well, today Liz turned 30. I, of course, started the morning off for her by playing "Funeral March" by Chopin as she walked down the stairs. Ha. We had a really fun day celebrating though. The White's came to visit, and it was SO good to get to see them!! We really need to make it a point to visit with them more! We always have so much fun when we're all together!

Blowing out her candles.

Aunt Pam and Uncle Barry got Addie and Penny these crazy gorillas. They have a banana and when you take it away from their mouth, they scream and wave their arms, then they giggle when you put it back. The girls LOVED them.

When Briarly first went to run, she forgot that Addie was only 2 and can't actually run that fast. Addie held onto the rope for dear life, flew up in the air, and then was dragged about 10 feet while still holding on. Everyone was cracking up, luckily Addie wasn't hurt and thought it was hilarious, so she kept falling.

Uncle Chris was seeing how high he could toss Addie. GiGi was not pleased. Ha.

She was running from person to person to have them throw her in the air.

My 2 favorite people.

Apparently Addie has been watching to much CSI, as she wanted her chalk outline drawn. Ha.

Liz and I ended our day with a trip to Flip Burger for birthday milkshakes. Nutella Marshmellow style. It. Was. Amazing. Seriously, everyone should try one! Plus, Flip makes their milkshakes with Liquid Nitrogen and that makes everything more fun.


Happy 30th, Liz!!
