Happy Birthday Wishes & Opa!!

On Saturday my friend, Rachel's daugher, Emma, was having a 2yr old birthday celebration at their house and I was invited! She was so cute and just loved all her gifts.

Also Rachel went all out decorating the house for her party. She's so creative. Look at what a beautiful decorating job she did just in this little corner of the house.


We first opened presents, then had dinner and after that we sang happy birthday and she blew out her candles. She loves to blow, and it was so cute watching her. This is the best picture I could get of her blowing out her candles.

Here she is with her 4 yr old brother, Collin, playing with some of her new toys.





What a sweet little 2 yr old birthday girl.

After the party, I met up with David and we went somewhere entirely different. The local Greek Orthodox Church was having it's annual Greek Festival, and we had never been, so we decided we'd go check it out this time. It was actually a lot of fun. We tried all different kinds of Greek food and pastries. Some were really good and others I wouldn't get again. But the best part besides the fun atmosphere were the Greek dancers. They were doing the Opa! dance and were very good. Then this very old man came out with a cane and a foot brace and threw the cane down to pick up a wine goblet filled with wine and balance it on his head while dancing. It was amazing! He actually danced better than he walked. Anyway, we had a fun saturday with both celebrations.

Great pictures, Sherry! We're so glad you could come and celebrate with us, and thanks for the cute little butterflies, they love them.

Glad you had fun at the festival that night, maybe we'll try it next year. It's been years since I was last there.
