Right: Davis, Kristofer, Haleigh, Caroline, and Tatum. Lauren in front. This is a special group of friends whom Lauren has known all of her life. Haleigh and Kristofer, friends from our Machado St., Caroline lived down the next street. Tatum and Lauren met when they were 3 in preschool and we live in their neighborhood!

Lauren went with 5 friends to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert tonight to celebrate her "9th" birthday . Each child got their own cheesecake, sadly 4 of the 6 all got original cheesecake with strawberries! But we all had a good time! Not sure why the "red eye" will have to look at my camera again...
