mo-mo & mickey....

my precious niece turned two last Thursday, and we were honored to get to attend her birthday party this past weekend. it was a happy coincidence that her mama and my hubby also had birthdays last Friday and Saturday, respectively, so there was much celebrating throughout the land. here are a few photoz, beginning with our outing to the mall and flipping tasty bbq dinner on Friday: (we also had tasty steak dinner at Perini's Saturday night with L's family and dear friends of K & L, and bowling fun where the girls totally out-bowled the boys, but I was apparently too in-the-moment to think to take pictures of any of those activities)
