Happy Birthday Ashley!!

Monday was Ashley's 9th birthday. She wanted to open her presents before school. We had to get up extra early since it was Ky's first day of the semester. Ash said she woke up at 430 but did go back to sleep, that girl gets so excited. Here is present time.

New slippers

New books, including the new Magic Tree House

A makeup kit, it comes with different face shape stencils so you can practice on the paper.

A new purse

Earrings

A couple of new skirts

And the big giant present (I bought the biggest bag I could find)
A fuzzy purple pillow for her new room

We sang to her and then sent her to school

wearing one of her new skirts.

After school we headed down to see Ky and head out to Craigo's for dinner. She actually wanted to go to Gator Jacks, but Craigo's serves the cookie monster.

We had a great time and Kaite ate as much pizza as she possibly could. Thanks to everyone who came.

Ash took most of these pics.

Chelsea loved hanging out with her cousins.
Dad demonstrating Marianne's picture face! We love to tease her about it!

I have so much I could say about my Ash. She is truly one of the sweetest people ever. Julia Egbert once told me that she thinks "Ashley doesn't have a mean bone in her body" I think she is right. Ashley is so thoughtful and loves EVERYBODY. She is also one of the biggest teases ever. She is such a good sister and helper. She is always willing to help out with anything and do anything for anyone. She is such a sweetheart! We love her so much and feel so lucky to have her in our family!

Happy 9th Birthday Ashley! We love you so much!

She had her spacers placed yesterday and said her mouth hurts so bad, headgear next week.
