Veronica's 8th birthday party

Veronica had a good turnout for her birthday party! We're missing one attendee from this photo (and Omri):

Here's a look at Veronica and Omri's results:

Opening gifts is always a highlight of the party:

I believe they are doing the Macarena here:

Fun, somewhat stressful times!
