sissy's birthday celebration!

my sister is another year older, and it was time for a celebration! the whole fam got together at mama's house for dinner, presents and cake (the usual), to celebrate the birth of sissy!  mama made my dad's delicious hungarian paprikash, from a hodge podge recipe i put together when my dad first taught me how to make it!  well it certainly didn't disappoint. i scarfed down two bowls of the veal and dumpling mix!  because we were all so full from the food, we decided to head to the park up the street for a nice walk, soccer and playground play time!  everyone had a wonderful time! it sure is nice being all together.  after an hour or so, we headed home for the ice cream cake from dq and presents!  we got her some cute picture frames for the children since they are starting school this year and next.  you put their school pictures in them every year until they graduate high school.  she loved them!  here are some pics!
