Ross' BirthDAY!

Grady and I didn't have to think too hard about where to take Ross on her actual birthDAY . . .

We've noticed she had a little thing for teddy bears ever since we started reading to her. She points them out everywhere! And, in fact, all we had to do was enter the mall, and she spotted the "Build-a-Bear Workshop!" It was so sweet!

These pictures do the experience no justice . . . she was completely beside herself . . . squealing and pointing all over the place . . .

That store might have been the highlight of her life.

Later, we went out for a special birthday supper . . .

where she thoroughly enjoyed her first real dessert!

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
