Seven years in the making


Finally!!
something to blog about.

Grammy came to town last week.
(here are some of the highlights)

In honor of presidents' day..
we hiked to the Hollywood sign.
Actually you can only hike
up and behind the sign.

(not a very glamorous sign don't you think?)


(in route)

Jumping ahead to Friday.
The real reason for Grammy's visit...
my baby is now
seven.
How did that happen!?!
In honor of the birthday girl,
we threw the fanciest party around!

Since I was playing the "hostess with the mostest"
I neglected to take pictures of the
pretty tea cups and set up.
Luckily Andy had his whits about him
and took some shots.



my favorite part of all was doing a book exchange.
Everyone left with a 'new' book
and we didn't come home to a bunch of new stuff.

Looks like quite a party. A book exchange sounds like a super fun idea.

WOW! 7 already! Happy Birthday to Grace. You looked like you pulled off a great party! And, I love the book exchange. We did that when M was really little and I loved it! After last year, and 15 friends w. gifts, I have been trying to think of something clever for this year, like maybe toys for child welfare or something. Very neat.
