Celebrating with Friends ~ Nov. 9-16th

This is what happens when you don't plan a birthday party... you get to spread it out over many days, and have visits with your friends. With Nora doing best with 1:1 visits, this worked for us this year. Always a fun time, it was great to have Auntie Julie and Anna visit, especially as we wanted to celebrate Anna's recent birthday too.

Nora checks out Anna's card.
These girls have never known the days of not being able to instantly view their photos.
Nora appreciates her new gifts.
So hard to get the girls looking at the camera together.
After lunch, time for birthday cupcakes... no one cared that I didn't have time to make icing. :)

...then solemn.
Anna is excited...

Turning "2" is a big deal!
 Turning "3" never ends...
Back from Winnipeg, my parents bring a gift from Auntie Ann and her family. This birthday thing is just the greatest...

Lewis helps with set-up.
Wow, amazing doll house furniture!
Very cool! And even better, I bought the actual dollhouse at a steal-of-a-deal
 later that evening at Chapters. Christmas will be fun! Thanks, Ann!
Later in the week, we partied again with Megumi and her daughter. Yes, another long cake from Costco, but only because I was taking it to an event later in the day... honestly! :) Thanks to everyone for celebrating with us. Nora is still trying to convince me that it will be birthday again soon. :)

Blow hard, Nora... no more candles until next November.

You're welcome, Susan! The furniture was a steal of a deal, too, which always makes me happy. I love all the photos so keep them coming . . .
