Butterflies and cake

Every year we do butterflies for Cora's birthday.  It helps to do something to commemorate the day, because in the words of Lilo and Stitch, "Family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten."  She's a part of our family, so she doesn't get forgotten.  We released the butterflies on Sunday, May 1st because it was warm and sunshiny, rather than cooler and rainy.  Then on the 2nd we went to IHOP for her birthday dinner (Erin decided it would be Cora's favorite place to eat a few years ago) and then came home for birthday cake.
