Birthday Weekend

We had a fabulously hot & fun weekend down in Minnesota celebrating Piper's 2nd birthday, as well as my Aunt Nancy's wedding! 

Could NOT get her to take her eyes (or her fingers!) off of that cake to smile for the camera!















The bubble mower (from Grandma & Grandpa) was an instant hit.  Note Hadley walking very quietly and patiently alongside for her turn.

Ahhhhh, finally my turn!  I think I'll mow the dock, or maybe the pontoon...

Yes, that would be my daughter showing the beautiful bride (my beloved Aunt Nancy) a toad!

Nancy's wedding day arrived complete with pouring rain, thunder & lightning!  But by ceremony time... it could NOT have been more perfect for an outdoor wedding.  The girls are getting some cousin love from Brooklyn!

Hadley's eyes are on another toad that someone else just discovered.

With the happy bride again!  This time at their beachside reception complete with ice cream, volleyball, paddle boats, swimming, and did I mention ice cream?











We did find time to take a dip in the pool with Grandma too!

But the weekend was not complete until we got to have Auntie Kim (AND Auntie Kara, Paige & Brooke - pictured to the left) swing in to celebrate Piper's birthday!  Kim & Piper are birthday buddies :)
