Veronica's 9th birthday party

We switched things up this year and held V's party at an old school roller skating rink in Coon Rapids!

I was glad so many of her friends were able to make it.

Cameras were not allowed on the rink... and I only brought my wide lens... and it was dark... so there is not a lot of skating action captured.

Omri, looking fierce:

Skating was a hit. And nobody got hurt!

That's a lot of candles on one cupcake:

Time to head home...

... and open gifts:

Another birthday behind her. We're all looking forward to what the next year holds.
