Happy late birthday, Victoria

I guess as long as I started the late birthday theme this year, I could just as well continue it. Yesterday was Victoria’s birthday, so today I will give her a shout out and say Happy Birthday. She received all of her presents the same day that Jessica was hosting her party, so no delay on that end. It is just we didn’t get a card or even talk to Victoria on her birthday. In my defense, I did send a text.

So along with the Happy-that-you-are-a-day-older wish, I have decided to post a few fun pictures for her. The pictures above are on the wall in the area going down the steps at our house. One of these days, we will take them all down and put them into photo albums to preserve them for the girls to have. I am guessing that day will come when we ever decide to put another coat of paint on the wall, which I keep hoping is soon, but I am not sure how we will get off some of the highest pictures. I had to stand on a makeshift scaffolding to get them up there, and I don’t feel that brave anymore.

This picture was Memorial Day of 1990 according to the writing below it.

The pictures above are in a collage that I have in my room. They were taken several years earlier when there were only two siblings. The height difference, though still there, is not quite as noticeable. I see where little Ana gets the idea that a cap or hat is fun to wear.

I can’t believe that I took both cameras along to Jessica’s party and never used either of them very much. Sometimes that is how things go. I do have this one of Ana in our room at the hotel that I can share with you, and one of Jaxon in Nate and Vic’s room. Below is a picture of Nate goofing around with the Barbie dolls that Victoria took for Ana. He was trying to photo bomb the picture of the three sisters before they could all get settled on the couch. What a bunch of goofs!!

I will stop here for now. Hope you had a good birthday Victoria, and may we all have many more years of goofing off together. It was worth the trip to all hang out. One of these times we will do it for more than just a day or two.
