The marvels of modern technology
Jordan is SIX today!
Not a bad re-tying job
She liked the little cards Mama found
Starting to unwrap carefully
Then asking for Jada's help to get more energetic about it
She was excited about this one - a playmobil horse trailer and jeep
Jada got her a TeeBall bat and ball, which she is also happy about
Jordan's Birthday Party Day - Grandma and Grandpa presents
Much excitement and rustling of tissue paper
Jada putting on her birthday outfit
Jordan got a matching pink one for her birthday
What lovely ballerinas!

all finished - big growl!
