Happy Birthday, Ally! (...and Aubrey, Allyson, Grandma D., Julie, and Susan...)


Today is "Little" Ally's birthday. She doesn't want to be "double digits;" she wants to stay small. But there it is. She is TEN! Smart, sassy, cute, creative, and loving- she is a joy to be around. I'm sure glad she's in our family!

We have had several birthdays in the family recently, and I don't think I wished anyone except Grandma D. a happy one on my blog! Here are my belated wishes to the rest of you! I sure do love you all!


We celebrated Susan's 24th, Grandma D.'s 73rd, and Julie's 12th birthdays with cake and ice cream the last Sunday of May. Ally and Tyler helped blow out the candles...


Last Sunday we had cake and ice cream for Ally's 10th, Aubrey's first, and Allyson's 28th birthdays. (We'll also have a swim party with both sides of the family for Aubrey's birthday next week!)


Sydney and Ally in the matching aprons I made them to go with Ally's birthday present.


Maddie and Tyler help Aubrey open her present from us. (In the corner you can see a copy of the cute tinted photo of Sydney that David and Loretta framed for Ally.)


Tyler and Nathan enjoyed the dollhouse. When does Aubrey get to play???


No, really. Brian LOVES our birthday celebrations. All the excitement just wears him right out.

I'm so incredibly blessed to have all these wonderful people in our family. Happy birthdays!

Last night at dinner, Ally again pointed out that she didn't want to be double digits. I told her that Mommy, Daddy, and Julie were all double digits, and she said, "That's true. We could be the double digit family."

I told Ally that at least she wasn't in the triple digits yet...and then I thought more about it.
