Lauren's 11th birthday party!

This would be Friday, April 29th... LeaAnn and I making cupcakes and peanut-butter filled brownie cupcakes for Lauren's birthday party! Taste-tested last weekend and approved by everyone :D AND I I believe we did not have Lauren's birthday party last weekend b/c of the March of Dimes walk on Sunday the 24th and being busy the weekend prior? Something like that ;)

but here we are, Lauren's birthday party weekend!

My little helper :)

And it just so happened that they were supposed to have a soccer game on this Saturday too, but the weather was so cold, windy and rainy, they cancelled them!
This was also the day for weigh-in for our goats, and we came home with 2 more for the single source class! :) In the van, b/c it was too cold for the little ones to be outside!! ahahaha... the mini-van, our goat hauler ;)

Yes, I have a stocking hat on.. it was COLD!

Came home and did clean out the van :) b/c we hauled all these girls to an indoor pool at the Urbana Inn to swim!

Just a couple of hours... they had a great time, and as you can see, we had the place to ourselves!

Came home and decided cake & ice-cream was first on the list :)

And just for fun... here's the video from 2012 - 4-yrs ago!!!

And I just HAD to throwback here... this is April 2012 - 4-years ago, Lauren turned 7 (what Lydia will) and it was our first 'at-home' birthday party...

When the girls were eating their cake and ice-cream this time around (2016), I just couldn't help myself, I said, "Oh girls... I remember when you sat around this table and you were so little!!" And I found an old video of them playing 'wedding'... it was so precious.

And when I showed them what they looked like 4-years ago, they squealed and laughed and could not believe how much they looked like their little sisters do now!! It was hilarious and so touching :)
