It's My Party ...

and I'll brag if I want to ;-). In anticipation for the big 33rd 25th(ish) birthday tomorrow, I'm posting a few of our favorite family pictures from our photoshoot over the Fourth. The pictures went well - although we had to fight through a wild gang of mosquitoes to get them.

Mike asked me a few days ago what I wanted for my birthday. Besides reminding him about the ridiculously expensive camera that he already bought me, I looked around our home at the mess of pink blocks, naked dolls (seriously, why do they hate clothes on their babies?), and tea sets ... and I honestly couldn't think of anything I needed beyond the family we've created together. It's sappy, I know, but as I look to another year, I'm beyond grateful for my husband, puppy, and beautiful daughters!

I'm also grateful to brave Auntie Emmy, who tackled bedtime x2 last night so Mike and I could go out with friends. It was as wonderful as we hoped it would be!
