Oh how we've missed you St. George Island...

 

I know I say it every year, but this place has a way of renewing my soul. It's a little slice of heaven on earth. This was the 7th year we've had the chance of playing and making new memories and I am so very thankful for the time we get to spend there every year. A picture (pictures) is worth a thousand words and clearly from the pure joy on all of our faces you can tell what a great time we had there.

 

 

Pj's, Arts and Crafts

To celebrate are sweet Ava turning seven we decided to have a Pj's and Arts and Crafts party!  This party was a pretty big deal to my sweet Ava, as she decided to invite only the friends from her class this year.  So out went the family room furniture...in went the decorations all ready for 12 sweet girls!

Couldn't find what I was looking for, so made my sweet sunshine her own pj pants invites.

 

 We set the table up as the bed...already for a yummy brunch and arts/crafts.

 Donut Cake...easiest and least expensive cake ever!

Ava and her sweet friends!

Happy Birthday to you Sunshine!

 

 After brunch, the girls set to work on their first craft.  Decorating their own magnetic paperdolls/paper outfits.

 Ava and one of her besties Anna.

 Moving on to jewelry making and gumball necklaces!

She received so many nice, genrous gifts from her sweet friends!

 Her sweet friend Roxanne gave her a handmade doll that her mom made...Ava named her Roxy!

 

 Ava and another sweet friend Rylee.

 So excited!!!!

 

 Daddy took the boy fishing, since it was more of a girlie party.  We saved him a donut though!

 Mimi and Granny were such a big help and we couldn't have done it without them!  They were also good sports and wore their pj's too!

 Love my precious, precious little blessing!  I know seven will be a great year!
