We had a GREAT day!

When she woke up that morning there was a present from mom and dad waiting in the living room. After she rubbed the sleepies out of her eyes she got excited.






For 2 hours during the day {while Spencer was at his Preschool group} Ruth and I had time all to ourselves! Hand in hand we went to Dairy Queen for her favorite lunch {at least for that day} of hamburgers and ice cream. She is funny and adorable. I enjoyed our one-on-one time.

The older siblings were almost more excited for Ruth's birthday than she was. After school {and Girl Scouts} we came home for a dinner of individualized pizzas.



Then had FHE with the activity being her party. Her older siblings had each picked out some of their toys and wrapped them in boxes to give her. They were so excited about it. Ruth would ask what it was and they all replied "Cow Poo!" Ruth would laugh and was genuinely excited to open her cow poo. Silly kids


Group hug! awwwwww





Happy, Happy Birthday Ruth! We are so glad you are in our family and we LOVE you so much. You are silly and sassy and keep us all laughing. Life would definitely be dull without you! You have your daddy wrapped around your finger, "I like my dad. He is my friend. I LOVE HIM!" The feeling is definitely mutual. I love tucking you in at night because you just love to talk and talk and talk. Its pretty cute. You love your baby dolls and are a great mother to them. You have a talent for eating messily and always have a chunk of crusty food in your hair and cheeks. You still have a very strong sense of style, love jammie pants (now tinker bell) and dislike to have your hair done. You're irresistible.
