Last Sunday evening we gathered at Ruby's house to celebrate her birthday. Grandpa brought the helium tank and ruby red balloons in her honor. Sadie wants blue balloons on her birthday.
Heather was the most honored guest because she was not only invited for the celebration but was also invited to spend the night.
Do you think Julianna wanted to spend the night, too? I probably should have left out this picture of grandma in the background!!!
Dave seems a bit puzzled. It probably has something to do with that collection of helium balloons rising all the way up to the topmost part of his open ceiling.
It's hard to believe that the birthday girl is already "5" and starting kindergarten in the Fall. Seems like just yesterday when she was born shortly after midnight.
There were lots of girly girl gifts to delve into. . .
assisted by other girly girls. . .
who know what girly girls really like!
The dress fit her American girl doll well, although a bit shorter than the picture in the magazine. I sent an e-mail to "Australian Smocking and Embroidery" suggesting that they double check their directions for fabric dimensions. This link has a picture of the dresses that Ruby picked for herself and her doll. Just go to the preview and scroll through the pages for "Tea for Two."I promise, Ruby, that your dress is coming!
I really love that dress, short or not. I can't wait to see Ruby's. Reminds me of my dress with my cabbage patch- good times!
ReplyDeleteHenry loved looking at these pictures, he just sat there laughing. It must be the balloons.
Emilia looks beautiful and helpful, as always. How about you bring her to California too, :)
