My dearest Aunt Heidi is celebrating a milestone birthday this week. She is turning 50! I used to consider everything over 30 old...but now as I approach 30 (gasp!) my perception of old has changed dramatically. Heidi has always seemed so young to me--and she still does. There is nothing "old" about her. She's as spritely and spry as she has ever been, and I don't anticipate that changing any time soon--and hope it never does!
We got together, as usual, at Nanny's to celebrate with pizza, again, as usual, and cake from Jungle Jim's. One of the things I love about my family is that when it comes to special days--we just want to spend them with the ones we love most, and that's just what we did!
The birthday girl!
Make a wish and blow!
Max showing Uncle Mark how to play Minion Rush...
...promptly followed by "rides"
Double the fun--or work in Mark's case!
Such a little sweet girl!
Susan, Amelia, Heidi, Mom, Linds, and Sophie...pretty sure something started to smell "funky" at this point.
Butt-sniffing to locate the source!
We tried really hard to get both babies to smile at the same time....in vain.
#1
The part of this picture you don't see is 5 adult women with camera phones trying to get both Sophie and Amelia to smile with our ridiculous baby talk, absurd noises, and aggressive smiles--I wouldn't have smiled either. I'd think I was surrounded by creeps!
#2
Amelia just not quite sure...Sophie's expression unchanged.
#3
Sophie--unbreakable. Amelia--starting to give in.
#4
There's one!
50% will have to do!
Me and my babes--together they take up every inch of my lap and then some. This means they are growing way WAY too fast :(
Happy 50th, Heidi!! I couldn't be more thankful for an aunt like you! May the next 50 be just as fun and spunky as the first 50!
