The Birthday Girl

I seem to be good at blogging everything a month behind. heehee! But now is better than never! I didn't want this wonderful girl's birthday to go without being noticed!! On March 19, Laura Lynn Swenson celebrated her 20th birthday! No longer a teenager! She's so lucky she got to be home for her birthday and had a wonderful celebration with her family (even though she had a cold over spring break - no fun). But when we all got back to school, we threw a "not so surprise" party for her in the Grind! Heehee! It was such a fun time! I LOVE YOU, Laura!!
Happy Birthday to YOU!
Happy Birthday to YOU!
Happy Birthday, dear LaLa...

Happy Birthday to YOU!

ooo! look! presents! :)

Meg, Amy, me, Danie, and LauraAwe - it's all of us together again! Except Audge is missing :( Danie flew up from California and spent a few days with us! It was wonderful having her back - we all miss her and Audge like crazy!

Here's our professional family portrait. Jenn and Jordan are going to get an 8 x 10 and hang it in their living room to remember their dear daughters forever! :) We always have a bunch of fun together on our way to and from church every Sunday and Wednesday. And sometimes we behave so well that we get to go out for lunch on Sunday afternoons or have an evening of fun at their apartment! :) Thanks "mom and dad!" :)

Here's the party! - Thank you, Mr. Gaugler for the cake! It was the best one I've ever had! :)
