Yessa's Birthday

Since Buddie and Buster were leaving on a trip before Yessa’s birthday, we started the celebration early.

That's a big present! — That’s a big present!

Needs a little help to get it opened.

Oh, WOW!

It's so soft! — It’s so soft!

On to the next gift.

Purple bubbles!

What could this be?!

A rainbow set of permanent markers!

Cool.

In the bag, ready to write on anything that will stand still.

The pillowcase works perfectly for the dolls.

Shortly after the menfolk left, our good friends from VA arrived, so we filled the house back up. (Longer posts about their visit to come soon.)

The birthday blanket snuggled many girls throughout the weekend.

Making the cake.

The moms also toasted Yessa!

Cousins and Aunt A came over to join in for the evening celebration of dinner, cake, and a movie night.

Snuggled in for a movie.

Movie of choice: The Aristocats.

Sprinkly, sprinkles.

I put 6 candles on the cake, and Louisa had to say, “She’s turning 7, isn’t she?”

Oops.

The final product.

Blowing out one candle...lighting the cake. — Blowing out one candle…lighting the cake.

Get ready!

She gets embarrassed when we sing "Happy Birthday." — She gets embarrassed when we sing “Happy Birthday.”

Can she do it?

One left.

Dish it up... — Dish it up…

And dig in.

I never remember to get ice cream to have with the cake, but no one seemed to mind.

It was a relaxed, wonderful day, and even though Buds and Buster were missed, we had a grand time celebrating Sweet Yessa.
