heidi has a birthday

This is a great picture from this summer.

So is this one.


 I cannot believe your child can bake and decorate a cake this fancy.  She is phenomenal.
I went looking for some pictures from the past, and we've got plenty.

For a while you definitely lived in a sea of babies.
Awww.
You two:

This old birthday classic:  The shared birthday, the heat of an August evening, birthday party reaching a crescendo.  John isn't even wearing a shirt anymore, and you are losing it--overheated, don't understand why others (Dan) are blowing out candles TOO.   Time for a big glass of water and a few minutes sitting by a fan.

That doll on your lap smelled lovely.  I think her name was Maxie, and even years later in the toy bin I would still stop and sniff her.  And you kids.  Look at Baby Alex.  And Kirsten, hahaha.






Parents and you, back in the day:

That old manual 35 mm film camera took some of my favorite pictures, including this one:

Awww.

I'm glad you had a great birthday, a good run, a fine cake, dinner from Applebee's, lots of laughing and easy going evening.

You are a lucky person to have for a friend.  You show so much love to your little brothers and sisters.

You're a phenomenal mom.

The whole family is better with you in it.

Lucky little old us.

Happy Birthday, with love forever, Mom and Dad and Everybody
