Little Missy's Birthday Party:

Last night, our Little Missy had her very first slumber party in celebration of her 8th birthday.  There were 8 little friends who came for the overnight spa-themed party.  A bunch more of us showed up for pizza, cake and ice cream.  It was really fun, and Tatum is such a truly nice little girl and great hostess.  April, you outdid yourself, it was a wonderful party!

Beary Best Friends!

The star of the show!

April, Mallory and Toni watch 
the karaoke performances. 

April gets joy out of all her hard work 
in setting everything up.

Ryland gets joy out of the cooler.

The cake!

These guys are my friends too, but I hadn't seen them for a long time.  I sure had missed them, and really enjoyed visiting with them last night:

Mallory and Tanner

Jacy and Ryland

Mallory, my little dance partner at the 
Summer Fun Days in Gilchrist 
since she was 5 years old.

Ryland loved that cooler!

Ryland, who is a perfect blend 
of his Grandpa Duke and Grandma Sherri.
Sure do miss you, Duke.

Tanner, who is a perfect blend 
of his Mom Jacy and Dad Brandon.

Pretty Jacy, who looks so much 
like Julia Roberts to me.
