Family Party for Frances

You may be catching a slight hint that we are REALLY celebrating Frances's birthday.... a lot. Part of the reason is that I have a business trip on her actual birthday. SO....today, I took the day off and we had a "girls date". So fun. Then this afternoon we got to go to the bookstore (family tradition) and Henry insisted on using his gift card from his birthday to buy her a book -- I got teary eyed in Powells. We picked up ice cream cake on the way home, but then had a SERIOUS side trip to the pharmacy to get Maggie antibiotics (another ear infection), so her cake melted and became this hilarious pile of ice cream that Frances LOVED.  Martha Stewart I am not.
