Happy Birthday, Megan!!

Our sweet niece, Megan is lucky enough to have an August birthday. Each year she has fabulous summer parties--with water games, swimsuits, and popsicles. (Jeff and I envy all summer birthday-ers, as we both have winter birthdays, never celebrated in swimsuits). This year we celebrated in style with DORA THE EXPLORER. I wanted to show up in BOOTS, but Jeff thought that would be too cheesy. (Boots is Dora's monkey, folks). We had "Dora cups, and Dora plates, and Dora cake..."

Megan is so cute that she even pulls Papa Greg away from his combine for the afternoon--she's also lucky enough to have a birthday right in the middle of harvest! :) She is Papa's girl, through-and-through.

Aunt Ellie: "How old are you, Megan?" Megan: "I'm this many." My favorite is when she says that on the phone--and after she says this I ask her, "Are you turning three?" and then she says, "NO, I'm THIS MANY."

Gracie loves her cousins! Abby is so good at holding her...and changing her, and kissing her... In fact, when Gracie is fussing, Abby (age 4) says, "Give her to me, I know how to calm her down."

Ha! And the next minute...Daddy's furrowed brow shows itself. Darn genetics.

Happy Birthday, Miss Megan! We love you and are so proud of you!!!
