family party.

We had a little family party to celebrate our girls last weekend. Just Grandma and Grandpa, Grandma Jones and Uncle Casey. (We missed you, Heather, Brian and Madison!) No grandparents had far to drive this year, though! 




This little miss LOVES to be outside. We really miss our big backyard and long driveway...



Gretchie was pretty into opening her gifts this year...





Sophie had opened most of her gifts on her actual birthday, but she had some fun things from Grandma Jones, Uncle Casey and Lawson.

For her "Paris Fund..."  =)


One of these girls doesn't love people singing to her/looking at her...



Happy, happy birthday to my two favorite girls...

Amanda... you would love the banner! It's all different colors/patterns of oil cloth on one side and then vinyl chalkboard on the other. I wrote on it with a chalk pen and then it just wipes off with a wet cloth! So fun!

I bought it at Beki's barn sale, but the gal that makes them is local. I'll check with Beki or Gina... they would know her name.

Love the banner..........I am going to have to make one of those! Where do you find a chalk pen?

Amy said...

My chalk pen came free with my banner. :) Maybe Michaels or Hobby Lobby?

LOVE the banner! You may have to walk me through that one, step by step.

Gretchie looks like she's grown 3 years since you left Newton. Makes me a little sad :(
