Cowgirl Birthday

Lydia had a Saturday party with a few friends.

Thank you Grammy for the cream and sugar.  Already planning English tea party for next year's birthday.

They are such posers!

Enjoying some ginger brew.

Gabe has fizz up the nose.

Eight-year-old

She got wheels!

Gabe has taken over all fire lighting duties.

Happy Birthday punctuated with staccato bangs.  He explained, his contribution in lieu of accompanying with the guitar which reappeared last week with a resurgence of playing - at least for a day.

There she blows!

A few desired trick candles and lots of smoke.

So we come to the end of "Birthday month" with contented, growing up way too fast, kiddos and good memories.  Grandma and Grandpa traveled the distance and surprised Lydia for her special day.  She agreed with Gabe that it was the best surprise ever.
