Thanksgiving!

Since Grammy Paula moved into a new house in June, she was very excited to do Thanksgiving at her house for the first time in several years.  It turned out fabulous!  Mr. Bill and Aunt Paula joined us and everyone had a great time.

 Grammy set up an art station in the garage.  Here are the girls having themselves traced and then coloring in the results.

 Grammy!  The hostess with the mostest!

I think we wore Grammy out, but dinner was wonderful!

Birthday Dinner Out!

Due to ridiculous traffic and bad weather, Bill didn't make it home in time to take Libby out for her birthday dinner.  So, we headed to Red Robin the next night.  Libby loved getting to celebrate for several days and having a "birthday season" as Grammy Paula puts it.

 The birthday girl!

 Mmmm, ice cream sundae!

Oh, and for anyone who has noticed that the last two blog entries say that Bill posted them (though he definitely did not!), it's because I have used up all the photo storage on my posting account. So I will be signing in as him for awhile.

Libby's Birthday Outing With Mommy!

Libby's actual birthday fell on a Monday, so I took the day off.  She was totally jealous when Abby got to go have a manicure and pedicure with me for her 7th birthday, so I took her to have a manicure and pedicure for her birthday.  Our girls are so spoiled!

Libby's 4th Birthday Party!

It seems like only yesterday that Libby was born and today we had her 4th birthday party!  Where does the time go?! She is growing up way too quickly for my taste.  Happy Birthday, my sweetheart!

 Running around in her new outfit from Grammy.

 Kiera, who's birthday party was last weekend.  She just turned 5.

 Papa Bill and Elizabeth.

 Spike!

 Libby's cake, homemade by Daddy.  She wanted chocolate cake with pink frosting and strawberry ice cream.  It was great.

 If the whole engineering thing doesn't work out, Bill may have a second career as a baker.

 Blowing out her candle!

 Singing "Happy Birthday".

 Abby dancing.

 Opening her presents.

 Playing with the new Barbie dog grooming station from Aunt Rhonda.

It looks like they had a big day.  Both girls fell asleep watching TV with Grandma, before 8:00!
