Ashley, how old are you?

Ashley was looking forward to eating on the red “You Are Special Today” plate.  This is one of Kathryn’s traditions mixed with the German Pancake tradition from my side.

When we asked Ashley what kind of cake she wanted, she consistently asked for a chocolate lion cake.  Kathryn delivered big time.

Treats for the friends party.

So happy to be the birthday girl!

Best. Day. Ever.

Sunday dinner at the Hawker house.  Let the party continue!

Ashley saw this tiger umbrella at the zoo one day with Adam and absolutely had to have it.  She was pretty distraught to leave empty handed.  We heard about Adam’s tiger umbrella for a good portion of the ride home.  This was a fantastic gift that put in major points for the favorite uncle position.

Putting it to good use in the rain the next day.  Check out that smile!
