Happy Birthday, Birthday Girl!

If it seems like I've been making a lot of birthday posts recently, I have. On the calendar, Jake was born Aug 10th, a month later Luke was born on Sept. 8th, and three weeks after that Ashley's came on October 1st. Claire will follow suit and come a month from now, first week in November. So Fall is party central around here - the stork circles the house this time of year dropping little bundles of joy!

So today is Ashley's much anticipated birthday! Luke actually woke me up first, in the dark, at six telling me we could get started on her breakfast in bed. I rolled over and said, "come back in a half hour". Then the next thing I knew, Ashley was there climbing in with me and daddy. All smiles and excitement about it being her birthday!

We got breakfast put together for her and brought it into our room. She was a happy girl. We gave her the new tradition, a candy poster, and a "birthday girl" t-shirt to wear to school today.




She had her strawberry shortcake party last Saturday with a bunch of little girl friends. It was fun and she took part in planning all the little details. That's the kind of girl Ashley is.









Tonight we get to take her to dinner at the Olive Garden, her fav place for noodles and breadsticks. Ashley is a special girl and so much fun to have around! LOVE YOU!!
