Juliet is 7!

Juliet celebrated her birthday last month and is now a proud 7 year old!  I can't believe she really is 7!    Here are a few pictures from her party with family.

 This year's balloon that Juliet picked out was a dog (we think it just might be "Hank the Cowdog, head of ranch security"!)

                                                      Checking out one of her presents...

                                  A doll dress from Nana for her new American Girl doll!

One of Juliet's presents was a bathing suit from her aunt.  Next thing you know, Jules and her cousins disappeared for about 5 minutes then reappeared all wearing bathing suits.  True girls!

This year, instead of Juliet having a birthday party at our house with all of her classmates, we instead celebrated by having a picnic in NYC!  Juliet picked her friend Helena to come with, and boy, did those two have fun!  Here they are waiting for the fun to begin.  Helena has a map of Central Park so she's ready to tell us where to go.

                                                    First stop: The merry-go-round!

                                       Next up: Picnic time on a rock with two silly girls....

 Then it was off to the giant toy store F.A.O Schwarz where each of them could spend ten dollars (which doesn't go too far in a store like this, but the girls had fun picking something out).  What did they buy? Cheesy, plastic figurines!

                                                               Watch out, NYC!

                                                     And to end it all, Rita's Italian Ice!
