Surrounded by friends and family, Lily celebrated her 2nd birthday at the lake. Mike also wants to point out that Lily got the short end of the stick since her champagne birthday is when she's 2! (Champagne birthday refers to the birthday that falls on your birthdate. Lily turns two on Aug 2/08. My champagne birthday was when I turned 16 on July 16th... )


Lily loves her puddles!

Lily is LOVING her wand from Johnny! I'm loving the fact that Johnny picked up the one that had lights and no sound :-)

8 1/2 month old Sarah...

Liz and Sarah winding up for the pinata.


2 year old Lily and 21 month old Cora are checking out Mike's bubbles!

We started the pinata with the youngest and worked our way up. Poor Johnny never got a chance!

The wicked awesome pinata that my lovely and generous niece made Lily for her birthday. She even filled it!

Lily with her BUS cake from Nana. No cake from Nana would be complete unless it were a money cake!


Whalen and Cora. Yes, Cora did give Whalen the black eye when he attempted to take the snack table from her, and she let it go!
