Valor's impromptu pre-birthday bash

As time passes, I appreciate more deeply friendships that withstand the transition to different seasons of life. Such friends include the Lums, who are so dear to our hearts. We reside on opposite ends of the state, which makes the few times a year we get to see each other all the more special. They're in town coincidentally during Valor's birthday week, so our kids (currently five kids ages three and under between our families) got to celebrate together. It was an intimate impromptu pre-birthday bash for our sweet boy, who officially turns two tomorrow.
