Grandpa, Brooke and Grandma
Jill and Brooke
Here she is opening one of her gifts from us. I like making books telling of the girls' adventures with Grandma and Grandpa. I always say they won't be getting a quilt from me, but, hopefully, the photo books will remind them of our fun together. And, it's also a fitting gift since reading together is one of our favorite activities to do.
I used the photos and rhymes from the blog post I wrote after her July visit.
We are blessed to have these little people (and a bunch of big people
from both sides of the family) in our lives! There were parents,
grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, all there
to celebrate a special day. Here's to an amazing year, journeying toward
Year 5!
Happy Golden Birthday to a very special girl!
Looks like a fabulous party! The cake is great!!
ReplyDeleteJill did a super job with it! Brooke definitely had expectations as to how it would look.
DeleteThis delightful 4 year old has a wonderful Grandmother. A special party with such a gorgeous cake. I too remembered the 'try to get pic' from last year.
ReplyDeleteOur Ben turns 1 in a month and I've been wondering about photo story books for him, about his Aussie relatives and all things Aussie. I need a dose of your creativity.
With all your photos, you're halfway there. The first book I did was before Kinley was born. I did a farm ABC book. It didn't have rhymes. I just came up with photos for each letter of the alphabet. That could be a place to start for you.
DeleteHis 1st birthday present [in a month] is a sewn alphabet book. Perhaps I will make a photo book of his achievements in his 1st year. Another could be of where Granny lives. Perhaps I can cope with short captions.
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! It's really kind of fun to think of the possibilities.
