Ashley Is Now 6 Years Old!!






It is so hard for me to believe, but our oldest daughter has turned 6 years old. It seems like these years have just flown by for us. She is a very fun and spunky little girl who enjoys writing, swimming and of course playing with her friends. This year, Grammie suggested that we have a tea party at her house to celebrate Ashley's birthday. We invited all her little girlfirends as well as her favorite little sister Abby and Abby's little friend Hailee. It was a very fun day, Grammie had it decorated so beautifully and all the little princesses were dressed in their favorite party dresses. Ashley thoroughly enjoyed the day!!! The girls got to have their hair done with a princess crown, get their nails painted, and even got to meet a real princess, "Princess Megan." She read them all a story about what God wants His "little princesses" to be like, thoughtful, kind, hard working, etc. It was great, thank you "Princess Megan!" Ashley and her friends all brought baby wipes and crayons instead of gifts, to donate to a local school that is in need. This was a real blessing and we are so grateful to everyone for their generousity!! Ashley and Abby went with me when we took the donations, and the school staff was so appreciative of what Ashley and her friends had done!! Ashley was happy to know she was able to help others and learned how joyful it can be to give to others. All in all, it was another great birthday, and we thank the Lord for giving her another amazing year. We love you Ashley!!
P.S. (Thanks Grammie for all you did to make Ashley's birthday so special)
