Paige turns 9!!!

Our baby girl turned 9 yesterday!!   Ya!!!  We celebrated with an ART Splatter painting party on Friday...So much Fun!!! ...Those photos I will have to post tomorrow!

We had the local family for dinner last night, we devoured roast beef, mashed potatoes and broccoli smothered in cheese sauce.  For dessert we savoured the blueberry creme brûlée cheese cake & ice cream cake.

Paige got so so spoiled, with sun hats, tons of clothes, a new apron, mall bucks, i-tunes cards for her new i-pod, the cutest new blue taffeta and black velvet dress, plus much much more!!!

WOW!!  Our Lucky girl is ending her school year on a very high note;-))

and Thank you so so so much to Ante (Paige's new spelling in her contact list) Jan - for all the clean-up!!  I have a few photos of you, elbow deep in hot soapy water - however, I know how you hate being on film...;-))  So I won't post! ;-))
