After presents and cake Hank and I went shopping for a bit. Afterward we went to Lauren's house for her birthday get together and had a blast. My sister and Abe are recent homeowners and their home is so adorable. We played her new Wii, ate yummy food, and had a great time hanging out. A lot of her other friends came over as the night progressed and it was a great time. I'm so glad Lauren had a fun night.
Here's some photos from the day and night!
the adorable little ice cream cake
make a wish!

It was a beautiful day today!
back home again, now ready to go to Lauren's-
This is Lauren and Abe's dog Rex! I love him so much. They rescued him after he had been found abused and left by a dumpster. :( He has a very, very happy and loved life now which makes me ecstatic.
He is so cute (and hates the flash most of the time!)
We like to take a lot of photos!
...and they often all turn out looking alike!
Kristin and Laur
I found this little gem at my sister's house in a box, completely in tact with all pieces there...this was one of our favorite games growing up. I always wanted to be Lila Fowler. I am beyond happy about this find and so happy Laur kept it after all these years.
Uncle Hank and Rex
Isn't he beautiful?!
taking this wonderful game home- we just had to pose for another photo with it. What fabulous memories!
I also had to include this photo from earlier- Ms. Madeline and me!
and...my love.
Happy birthday Laur!

ReplyDeleteIt breaks my heart to think people would do anything mean to him, especially abandon him.
I'm glad he's living with nice people now, he looks so happy and chilled :) x
My friends and I used to play the same Sweet Valley High Game, too! I haven't seen it in so many years! Like you said, great memories!
