What should we do next? Let's DANCE!...and of course eat some Buca di Beppo!

Happy Birthday Lauren!

Disneyland on her B-day with the family and then we were treated to dinner with the Folgers and Lauren loves to see her Aunt Penny! Thank you!

Family party with her cousins wearing silly hats. Lauren loves party hats. Here's a headband made by Aunt Annalee that Lauren is wearing. It took her a while to warm up and get the idea that people were wearing these hats for her, and that this was her party, but after she got to blow out the #3 candle, she gratefully put on her party hat and took a picture with everyone.

Here's another party, with Grandma and Nana and Baba! It was a night we could all get together. We had fun-Lauren was grateful for all of the presents from all the Family. Happy Birthday Lauren!
