May day

 God's blessed us with another year together. I'm so glad I have such great sisters!

Katie is now twenty. Yep...I'm still in shock.

As usual, we pooled our back-to-back birthdays (4th and 5th), and celebrated them both on a cold, rainy May day. 

 

Without, it is cold and dreary...

 ...within, it is warm and happy.

 Maura made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Wish you could eat this picture? So do I.

The power briefly went out that morning ("Ahhg! What to do? I miss my computer!")

I got out my notebook.

Mama got out baby pictures. Of me and Katie. Yes, we were that cute.

Not like looking at baby pics wasn't fun...but we girls opted to play Wist and Nertz, while consuming this amazing trail mix Maura made.

"Oh, tea and cards. How proper."

"I'm diggin the tea."

Adding up the Nertz score. Why am I always last at this game?

Opening presents.

Maura said I was constantly folding up the wrapping paper while we opened presents. Well, somebody's gotta do it. Right?

 Emori, enjoying life.

Ice cream cake a la Maura: Seriously. The best. Cake. Ever.
