Not-Quite-Country Girl

Saturday the whole clan got together in Ohio for a dual birthday celebration for Lucy (who turned 3) and Abram (who just turned 5).

Sometimes a girl's just gotta stop and twirl!

When I asked my just-turned-5-year-old grandson Abram what he wanted for his birthday and he told me he wanted a retractable beach with sand and where the water moved over the sand, I was pretty sure I couldn't have that delivered from Amazon.

A bowl of ice cream watching "Tom and Jerry"...right down Gramaw's alley.

Old school fun.

                    "We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

                    How about you, you, you?

                    You can come too, too, too

                    We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo."

'Tis the season for cleaning up the small branches that Papaw pruned off the orchard trees earlier this year.

Last August, these sweet 10-year-old feet took to the basketball court, and Karter's last season playing for our elementary school began.

Our own little 5-year-old tadpole Krew is taking swim lessons again this winter.

Cheerleading has never been my thing, but it's hard to resist watching such adorable cheerleaders!

Our sweet grandson Krew turned 5 years old earlier in the month, but this weekend 26 family members gathered for the official birthday celebration.
