AUBREY TURNED 7!

We had the girls from Aubrey's class, plus her cousins, over for a party. One of the girls, Rebekah (seated front left with her arms in the air) put a bunch of foil tinsel in Aubrey's gift. Yeah, that's always fun -- for the kids.

Rebekah also wrote this sign for Aubrey when the kids were drawing:

It's supposed to read "I Love Horses" so you can imagine how hard we tried not to laugh in front of Rebekah.

The partiers played a version of pictionary, each kid drawing something that the others had to yell out when they recognized it.


Mick decorated the bubble gum ice cream cake with a hand-sculpted Rice Crispies treats dolphin that he then frosted. Indeed, he's way cool.

Aubs opened her gifts.



Dane loves Aubrey.

And so does Karen!!!

Karen was here for the week of Aubrey's party and we had so much fun... starting with a little Red Robin birthday bash (okay, 'bash' is an overstatement, but it was fun) the night Karen flew in.

Happy Birthday, girls!

Aubrey,
WE LOVED THIS BLOG ABOUT YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY. WHAT A FUN CELEBRATION.
ALSO, IT WAS SUCH FUN TO HAVE YOU AND DANE HERE WITH US FOR SUCH A SHORT TIME BUT WE SURELY DID FILL THAT TIME WITH VALUABLE ACTIVITIES. ( I forgot sketching a kaleidoscope and the drop down a rectangle at a time toy.)
I'M COMING ALONG QUITE WELL WITH THE KNIT HATS AND COATS.
LOVINGLY,
GRAMMY 'DUMBO'

GREAT POST, Anj! These pictures were great. Tyler and I were laughing so hard at the "I love horses" sign. What a riot!!

Aubrey looks so grown up and beautiful. The "dangle" earrings that she was wearing while opening presents made her look 17...not 7! What a gem. Tell her we wish her the best!

Also, I was browsing through my facebook thing tonight, and I saw that your status had a few days of the flu. What a bummer! Sounds like you really got hit hard with the bug this time. I hope you're 100% again soon. You take care!

OK, "I love hores" was funny when you mentioned it on Facebook. However, seeing the photo is howlingly funny. Tine and I were dying over here. Hope all is well with y'all.
