Man, will time ever slow down?! I know it's asking too much for it to stop completely. This little Ginny-girl is now not so little. She turned 8 in January.
She got to talk to Omi and Poppi on the phone right before presents.
Here's my ever-growing clan eagerly awaiting birthday brownies (mmmm, brownies!).
It's hard to tell in the photo here, but the brown material has little gold sequin-thingys all over it. Kind of a pain to work with, but SO gorgeous I persevered. One beautiful "poofy-poof" dress for the big day.
The shoes are some black patent leather ones from Payless that I mod-podged with gold glitter. We couldn't find gold heels anywhere in our little valley in her size, so my neighbor Angie came to the rescue with this pin for DIY Glitter Shoes. (I used the same process on her headband, but that will be another post!)
We had SO many relatives come up and we thank you for the time and stress through the storm and accidents to make yourselves part of our special day! This picture with Grandma Julie shows perfectly how joyful my sweet Pika-Lou was through it all.
Da-Da-Pootie-Poo and Ginny Pika-Lou ready and waiting for her LDS baptism.
And I just had to put this one in as it shows off the spunkiness and joy that Ginny brings to our family. This tutu was what Ginny was wearing under her dress to make it "poofy-poof", as she described it. When it was time to change later, she ran around the kitchen like this. I made her stand still for a second or two to snap this. She may not thank me later!
