Celebrating Lydia's Birthday

On March 8th, we celebrated Lydia's 7th birthday!  Unbelievable how quickly time flies. Lydia is growing up into such a fun girl and she is absolutely AWESOME playing with Amaya.


Once again, it was another American Girl theme as they had released the Girl of the Year - Lanie, in January. We gave her the second book in the Lanie series because.....




Lydia got LANIE from Grandma and Grandpa Gustafson!! She's super cute too! I can't wait until Amaya is old enough to start collecting all the American Girl things. Unfortunately, I may need more restraint than Amaya....




While Lydia was opening up presents, Amaya and Miles tried sharing... sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Here they are beginning to put a  puzzle together - happily... for now...




Look at all that loot!




Arwen made her Grandma's recipe for apple crisp - absolutely yummy!



The Gustafson family.... Annika, Lydia, Miles, Ben, Arwen, and Mike. Happy Birthday Lydia!
