Beach Day #2

Today was a very busy day! You all are going to REALLY get sick of beach posts, because I'm having a hard time picking out pictures to post -- seeing that I take 50 a day, have to weed those down to about 25 and then pick what to post from there.

Anyway today was our friend Mira's 3rd birthday! Today was about her, and it was fun to help her celebrate this year - at the beach!!

Can you say BED HEAD? After exhausting herself yesterday, then falling out of bed in the middle of the night, I guess you can understand this look!!

Mr. Jeff made pancakes for Mira's special b-day breakfast - YUM!
Then off to the beach it was...........
Today was another beautiful day. There was a huge pile of sea shells that washed up on shore last night, and that was a big source of entertainment today--- they would dig and then move them to the sandy parts. They kept themselves very busy today!


For a little ..........SUN.........



For a little .......... SAND ...........


And a little fun in the ...... WATER........
(p.s. How sweet are these pictures??)

Mira's Birthday!!!!!
Today was also Mira's Birthday - so we opened gifts before heading out to the beach, then later last night, we had dinner & ate cake & ice-cream!!


All the kids got together to help Mira open her presents.. she's such a princess! (And, can you believe that we got all the kids together smiling at the same time???)

Happy Birthday to you..... Happy Birthday to you...... Happy Birthday dear Mira......

Enjoying yummy cake after our dinner
Best Buds... Happy Birthday Mira, we love you!!
(p.s. How doubly sweet is this picture??)

Girls "Spa Night"
Ms. Robin got out the polish & we all decided we'd paint our nails. Mira and Anne Marie love to have their nails painted...so, for an "end of Mira's birthday celebration" we all sat in the kitchen and painted each others nails, a shiny blue -- the girls were so happy!

"Ta-Da" --- They were so proud of their shiny new nails!!

That last photo especially is such a trip!

I won't get tired of your photos! They might make me jealous, but hey that's my problem!

These beach pictures are a constant source of amazement! What JOY! Can we even remember that, or have we lost it somewhere along the way? This is what we all need to take back and re-claim in our lives!
