Happy Belated September Birthdays!

We have quite a few people on both sides of our family with September birthdays. There are at least nine, and I am sure that I'm missing a few cousins, aunts, or uncles whose birthdays I don't know. Every other month of the year has birthdays sprinkled here and there. So what's up with September? Too much eggnog around the holidays or champagne on New Year's Eve? Really cold winters? Does anybody else have this phenomenon in their family with September or another month of the year? This is all beside the point...

Without further ado, I'd like to wish a VERY belated birthday to all of our family members with September birthdays. We have yet to schedule a celebration for the peeps on Allen's side - - so that makes me feel a little better about that fact that none of them have received their birthday cards or gifts yet. Oops. I'll blame it on the stress of having a not-really-new-anymore baby. Or did that excuse expire on her first birthday?

Here are some pics from the birthday get-together we had with my side of the family back in September at Great Aunt Betty Jo Bob's house.

Birthday girl Mema, her cupcakes, and a very serious-looking Granddaddy.


Seriously, how yummy do these cupcakes look?

Birthday girl Karen and her traditional Bailey's cake.

Birthday girl Lyndsey with her colorful cake. I'm in complete and utter denial that she turned TEN this year!

I couldn't put up a post without a picture of Natalie. Here she is trying on AJ's jeans for size.
