Ashley’s Birthday

We had a busy day on Ashley’s birthday.  She had her “Annie” performance late that afternoon.  Then we headed down to my parents.  It was a rush, rush day, but we managed to fit in the birthday traditions.  We decorated with streamers the night before her birthday.  Stephen made her breakfast in bed before school.  I took cupcakes into her class.   Stephen measured her on the family ruler.

Grandma Charla had a birthday cake waiting for her when we arrived.  The cake had little battery operated running lights around it.  Ashley thought it was the most fabulous cake that she had ever seen.

She wanted to do a kitty party similar to Jerrica’s puppy party.  She made, cut out and hand wrote invites for all her friends.  When she showed me this stack of invitations, I couldn’t help but be impressed at all the time that went into them.  She is quite creative!

Ashley loves art, writing stories, doing projects, singing, dancing, acting … she can swim like a fish and can make anyone laugh with her quick wittiness.

Oh how we enjoy Ashley’s personality!  She is such a fun girl and we are so lucky to have her in our family.  Love you Ash!!!
