the day of the birthday

Just a few more pictures from the actual DAY of Lydia's birthday (which was also our first day of school, and the first day of fall chaos for Matt - ha!)


with the little brothers, neither of whom was able to wait until her birthday to give her their gifts! ha!


Probably the top sibling gift is the new hula hoop from Isaac and Julianna. There has been a whole lotta hula hooping going on around here!


lunch date with Daddy!

and then home for some cupcake baking and more icing - oh dear, so much icing!  We finished up the leftover icing from cooking decorating and then splurged on yet more icing: chocolate!  You only turn 9 once, right?


{and this is one of my favorite family pics ever - so much happy and a bit of each person's personality too.  Plus John Paul is looking at the camera which is always worth celebrating!}


our neighbors came over for the cupcakes and singing,


and the birthday drew to a close.  Til next year, sweet Lydia.  Happy Birthday!
