Gloria's Birthday

 Gloria turned seven! We decided this year to do a big friend swim party and then slumber parties on birthdays. Per Harris family tradition the girls planned and helped make their cakes. Gloria wanted a strawberry layer cake with blue icing
 Two friends came home with us from school-nieghbor Kylie and classmate Hazel. First fun, a maze for Tiny the hamster.
 Then sisters, Abby & Harper joined us and we began the spa portion of the party! Face masks and cucumbers on eyes, then feet soaking with lavender epsom salts and scrub.
 Lydia and I painted nails, and Lydia did back massages and then they were out playing.
 They made their own pizzas (and ate a little bit of them)
 Birthday cake time! and presents!
 Outdoor fun, I thought this was cute as they were all on different levels. (Harper is on a huge rubber band we use as a jumpy).
 and this one because they are grouped by grades: Kinder, 1st & 3rd.
 Then movie fun, they wiggled, got popcorn everywhere and watched The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Then they went to bedrooms and kept wiggling, giggling and playing. It was funny that they all fell asleep in stages, but it was finally quiet at 11:30......and they started waking up at 5:50am!
Next morning, it was cold but they played in the back while the sun was coming up, had yummy daddy made pancakes, played with the pets and had time for one more spa treatment before friends had to leave.  Gloria has great friends and a fun time was had by all!
ADS had a groundbreaking for the new school and picnic, then we headed to Merle Norman for (hopefully) nonallergenic ear piercing! She picked small diamonds and didn't cry!  Happy Birthday Gloria!

Lucy Birthday Fun

 We took a trip to Dallas to help Lucy Boyd celebrate her 4th birthday. She loves her cousins and said Lydia and Gloria miss me. Here Gloria has a praying mantis on her face.
 Bill pulled out his drone for birthday fun. Rosie, the dog, doesn't like it but the kids sure did. One said it was an alien from another universe (or something like that)
 It was a circus theme.
 Girls running
And a slumber party. See Lydia in the fence/fort. Loved the big smiles and family time!
