fiesta & siesta

when we asked v where she would like to eat for her birthday she immediately said, "mexican!" so that's what we did. and i do believe in honor of her birthday...a miracle occurred....everyone looked AND smiled at the camera!!!!

we decided to invite just family and a few friends (both new and old), but somehow that turned into over thirty people. oh my...

these are just SOME of the kiddos. (yes, two miracles, they're looking, too.)

after their tummies were full we headed home where these three sweet friends got ready for some sleepover fun. aawwwww...aren't they cute? but wait...let's zoom out a bit...

SOMEBODY was lurking, wanting to be one of the gang.

and you know what? these sweet girls welcomed him with open arms....that's why i love this crew!! :)
and just for the record: when we asked bauer to come upstairs to take his bath his response was, "excuse me ladies. don't worry, i'll be back in a minute." heheeee....
