Cuz They Like New Clothes

The girls have gotten new outfits and PJ's recently, and it seems every time they put something new on they want a picture taken!

Not really new clothes but she asked to have her picture taken.....

Double Stuffs

Ashley picked up some Halloween-themed Double Stuffs last weekend, and Alison got a big kick out of the orange filling in the middle.....she kept laughing and so we grabbed the camera.

Grace turns 6?!

Grace turned Super Six about a week and a half ago! I'm not sure where the time goes, but she is growing up to be quite the little lady.....She's loving Kindergarten so far, and seems to be making a lot of new friends. Swim lessons started back up a few weeks ago, and she seems to be doing really well with that too. Ashley put together a little combo family/friend party on Grace's actual birthday, and here are a few pictures....

Grace standing by the gift table with her balloons....
Opening some Build-a-Bear accessories from Grami and Pop Pop......

We bought Grace some Speedo swimsuits for her swim lessons....official race gear!

Aunt Vicki and Uncle Ted sent Grace "Operation" as part of her gifts, and she loves it...future othro surgeon???

Alison received some presents, too, so that she wouldn't feel left out.....

Grami found this outfit.....the pants are "pleather" looking......cute and funny!

The kids got to do a "decorate your own cookie activity"

Grace very proud of her decorations.....

Alison was a little under-supervised during her turn and she dumped a LOT of purple sprinkles on her cookie!

Grace and her Barbie pinata.......

Showin' Barbie who is in charge!

Opening gifts from her friends......

Grace's princess cake.........

Makin' a Wish........

It was a busy day and the party wore out the grandpas!
