 Best part of the day was watching our Shelby run!  She got 12th in the jv race!  She’s awesome!  And I took a nap!

Covid 197–Ashley’s Tie Dye 12th Birthday party! 🎉

A beautiful day for an outdoor Covid-safe bday party—tie dye and backyard movie style (special thx to Isaiah for hooking us up with the new Mulan!).  Ash and her buds had a great time hanging out and we only had a small fire on the bday cake.  Who knew using a fan to blow out the candle would light the paper tie dye shirts on fire!  Ash handled it with ease!  Love our sweet bday girl and love her sweet friends! 🥰

Covid 196–tie dye party prep, Dyl got gassed at soccer 🤣

 Will add to these later.  Planning a party in 2 days is not ideal. Proud of our keeper Dyl who got kicked with the ball in the ribs tonight. 😜❤️

Covid 193–Ash is 12!🎉🥳💗

 

                       

Yippee yay yay ash is the terrific twelve!🥳🎉 I honestly can’t believe that my baby girl is in her last year before teenage hood! She used to be the little toddler that would help carry around my keys… And she’s still my lil helper just in a bigger body (she helped make her awesome cake, which was the best!). Love this sweet Ashley Claire!  She really had the best day! I didn’t see her for most of it because she was at school but even that made her heart happy to see her friends and to get to celebrate with them there. It was a much different celebration this year with masks and Covid restrictions… I couldn’t go visit her for lunch and bring her something special or come into her room with our traditional double cookie cake from Sam’s club. But she was still able to bring in individually wrapped dingdong‘s which she loves. And I was just grateful she was at school And she’s lucky to have a bunch of her friends in her class. She had a fun morning of eating Square donuts and getting all decked out in her new tie-dye clothes. And a great afternoon of riding in the birthday Mobile and getting Starbucks, doing a little birthday gift scavenger hunt thanks to Logan, and getting to open all kinds of gifts… I think she felt like she got everything off her list! The best part of the afternoon was a surprise that Nina and pops had made the universal trip to Harry Potter official and we’ll be there December 20-25! I’m not sure I’ve seen a more excited kid!  Can’t wait!!!  And we ended the evening with a very late dinner at cheddars… Where we realized why we haven’t gone out during Covid very much…Logan is loud, farty and burpy.  We have lost ALL manners over quarantine. 😜And we had a fun evening of gifts and cake! Oh and of course the highlight of talking to Nina and pops and Hailey! I’m not sure the day could’ve been any better for being a school day. Very thankful for this sweet headstrong go getter kiddo!  ❤️
