A Birthday Lunch

Yesterday, we got up and got moving. We headed to Gadsden to the mall to do a little shopping. It is really sad at what we have to choose from........there is just nothing if you do not go to Birmingham or Huntsville. Although I did find some really cute shoes and a cute top at The Gap for a little of nothing. Then we headed on over to Hobby Lobby. I love that store. They have the best deals! My mom was already there and had found me a great bucket for on $4.00. I am going to paint it and monogram it for the kitchen. I can not wait to show it to you! It was time to head on over to the Courtyard for a yummy birthday lunch with Natalie. We got there and it was going to be a while, so we sat out in the lobby area and a photos made. Emily is going to be the only child with an expensive camera. She does such a good job with her Aunt Maggie's, I may have to get her one.....JK! hehe Jamie came to join us but then had to leave because it was going to be so long. Oh well, maybe next time. At least he had his pic made with the birthday girl.

Emily trying out Grans camera and when that does not work she takes mine. Some might say I am brave to let my 4 yr old niece play with it.......but hey what are aunts good for???

Look at how cute our sweet Gracie Ruth is.....She is just a doll everywhere we go!!

The girls wonderful mom and my great sis! You have to check out her blog! It is so cute. She is such a great writer, I have always thought she should write for Hallmark.
