It seems like just yesterday I left work early to get to the hospital to see my first niece. Now she is 3 years old and has a baby sister. It’s crazy how fast things change.
Alexis had a luau for her 3rd birthday and invited a bunch of her friends (and their parents), which meant the house was filled with these little ones running around. With a scare of rain, they brought much of the festivities indoors, but were able to go outside for some cake…and everybody loves cake!
Here’s the birthday girl…

When I took this picture, I thought “If these two hook up, this is definitely going in their wedding slideshow”. Then I thought, “That’s like in 20 years at least!” Do you think they’ll still be doing slideshows? What do you think will be the next big thing?

And with everyone there, it was only fitting to have a quick portrait of all (most of) the parents with their little ones(I think the parents enjoyed it a bit more than their children)…

The wife and kids couldn’t make it…but that doesn’t mean he can’t have a picture…
