Girls loved being PE teachers for the day with Mr. Carroll!

B & B in Chicago

 Grandma Jane watched the girls while B & B went to a conference in Chicago & celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary

 Running along the water by the Navy Pier & making the most of a 3.5 hr airport delay

Great to catch up with cousin Mike 

Excited to have Grandma Jane visit!

Artists at work...acting, dancing, rock star singing, baking, drawing

Party prep...kids decorated plates with animals for the SPCA party & made a Pin the Tail on the Dog game with Grandma Goody

SO excited waiting for friends to arrive...

A sample of Haven's animal face paint creations...

 Pin the Tail on the Dog turns out to be trickier than anticipated!

Puppy love...

Bring on the cake!

Ending with dinner at Joni's favorite restaurant, Hibachi Grill (I think she has wanted her bday dinner here every year for the past 4 years)
