Happy Birthday Joelle

Joelle's birthday was a while ago, but apparently I forgot to blog about it, so here I am doing it now. I am a horrible mother sometimes :). Joelle really had a birthday month. She loved it. We gave her money and took her shopping (she spent her money so wisely that it took a couple of trips for her to use it all). I had gotten her a gift to give her on her actual birthday, but silly mom left it out in the shopping bag with all the other groceries and (for the first time ever) Joelle decided to see what mom had brought home from the grocery store. So she got that present early. It was a very fun birthday month. The only thing she wanted to do on her actual birthday was go to Josie's house for piano lessons, dinner and swimming. That is what we did. We had spaghetti (her favorite) and then vanilla ice cream for desert (also her favorite - she is kind of a Plain Jane when it comes to food :). Of course the pictures were taken after they went swimming. She does look happy, doesn't she?

Sorry about the bright spot on the picture. Don't know what happened there, but it is the only picture of the only present she actually got on her birthday. Amy and Josie got her a Chihuahua webkinz. She loved it! Thanks guys! We love you!
