Mommy went to take a picture of the birthday girl early in the morning, and she was missing from her bed. Turns out she woke up at 5:30 and went for a little quiet personal time on the couch.
She enjoyed a great collection of gifts, many related to her love of arts & crafts.
She's a beading machine lately!
And a rock hound.
Mommy took the day off of work so we could take a trail ride and do some other fun things together. So up to the horses we trekked. Jake and Shorty were easy to spot, but it seemed Quigly and Arby had disappeared from the pasture. Oh no, did we lose horses? Was the fence down somewhere?? No, they were just laying down and were hard to see. Funny boys.
We led them down to the trailer,
and got them ready for the ride. (Funny to see her ponytail as she brushes Shorty.)
Saddled up and ready!
(GrammaBon, notice the new cowgirl blingy shirt? Thank you!)
(Aunt Peg, notice the saddle?? We've been waiting since this time!)
Awesome ride!
We had a mighty good time.
Great view at the top.
Cuties.
We took a new path on the way back.
Back at home, she got right into her jewelry-making projects.
Later we had her choice for dinner: Chicken drumsticks, large couscous, and broccoli. Then we finished with a beautiful lemon cake.
I am so over the pressure to bake these myself every year. I mean, if that's how we choose to spend 4 hours, that's fine. But if we decide we don't have time to make it, we relish the chance to buy a special cake. And isn't the point to have something special?
She was pretty happy.
A great day!
