birthdays celebration

mid january brings so much birthday joy! my fabulous sister anna, best friend jackie, our dear little friend wes, my funny and sweet nephew byron and his super daddy dana, and our super-star ramona all have birthdays between jauary 14 and 24. wow. (come on baby hamm, throw your hat in the ring!)

this weekend, byron, ramona and dana all got to celebrate their birthdays together. (anna couldn't join us from california, but she was a much celebrated birthday girl during the evening time family slide show, where we giggled over our 1980s childhood, including snow forts, science projects, and bad fashion). we had a super time!

there were balloons,


cake,


antique cornets,


sunglasses,

the end of the weekend featured a stressful family photo. good times!
