7th Birthday Party

This year Paige and Virginia wanted to do a painting party for their birthday.  We booked it at a place in the neighborhood called "Clay Cafe."  The girls got to pick out the painting they wanted to do and then they had a teacher who led everyone at the party in doing their own painting.  They decided on a painting of a monkey and it was so cute.  It was really neat to see how all of the different paintings turned out.  I think everyone had a good time!

How old are you?

Paige and Virginia had a great birthday party!  Thank you to everyone who was able to come and party with us!  The girls loved it and loved all of their gifts as well.

And here are a few pictures that were taken by our friend, Ashley Brody.  She's a fabulous photographer and we were so happy that she chose to shoot some pictures while at Paige and Virginia's birthday party.  All of her pictures are wonderful, but I just chose a few to share here.

I LOVE Paige's expression in this picture!

That's my silly little girl!
