Abby loves all three of her cousins and was jumping up and down in excitement when I told her where we were going. She spent the whole time playing and dancing and playing again. Momma was forgotten in the joy of having playmates. It was great!
We didn't want to leave, but with a three hour trip back home, we finally meandered to the car. Within five minutes Abby was sound asleep. :) Here are only a few of our pictures. Enjoy!
Julia and her strawberry cake. I'm assuming it tastes good, we never ate any! We were so busy with other things. We did sing happy birthday and open presents. We also ate our ice cream early since we were at Dairy Queen for lunch.
Sophie was attached to Papa the whole day. She is one happy cuddle bunny.
Here's the whole gang at Dairy Queen. Every time we go for a visit, we ALWAYS stop here for ice cream. I'm not sure why we're so enamored with it, we have a Dairy Queen less than a mile from us, but for some reason we hardly ever go there.
Here's the birthday girl with her ice cream treat!! Happy Birthday Julia!!
Sophie loved her ice cream. I took this picture before she was done eating. I thought she looked so cute with all that ice cream on her face. I should have waited until she was finished, because her face was covered!
Julia got a magic horse from Papa and Nana. It can spin its tail, bob its head and walk across the floor...all with a touch of the magic wand! All four girls LOVED it!
Nana and Great Grandma worked hard on this Dutch outfit for Julia's American Girl. It turned out adorable.
Abby and I got Julia a snow cone maker. Here are all the girls trying to grind the ice. They sure tasted good! In the background are my dad and Jeff trying to google what's wrong with the cars. Both Beth and Jeff's minivan and my minivan had a malfunction light on. Neither one found an answer to the problem. I'm hoping that in my daily driving the light will just automatically turn off...here's to hopeful wishing!
Even Papa got into the act of standing on his head. He did it all by himself. Way to go Papa!!
Here is one of Sophie's five outfits she wore while we were there. I'm not kidding. She changed her clothes every 10-20 minutes. Each one was a different fairy or ballerina or princess. It was adorable. But Beth did make her where "regular" clothes for trip to Dairy Queen.
Abby got into the act too. She loved playing with the hat, especially when she was dancing.
Isn't this picture just the cutest!! What great cousins!!This is a short video of Papa and his girls. They all adore him and this love went on most of the afternoon. Thanks for being so fun Papa!
