Happy 23rd Birthday, Lydia!

We love you so much, Lydia! 

You are such a special blessing to us all!

(Yes, we still decorate birthday cakes like the birthday girl is five. :-) 

Beautiful sisters . . . just 18 years between them! :-) 

The birthday party really was all about celebrating Lydia . . . but then . . . . 

 a couple little things kinda stole the show! :-)  

 Talk about a gift (Lydia) that keeps on giving to this now Papa and Gramma! :-) 
She's giving kisses!!!!
A little bit of heaven right there . . . 

 This is Ben's drawing as part of his gift for Lydia . . .
