Ashley birthday fun - Take 3

After her Christmas PJ party and visit with Santa at school followed by the Christmas happenings at the State Capital, it was off to the Salem Carousel for a few spins and then dinner at Red Robin (birthday girl's pick).

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, this has sort of become our Ashley Birthday Tradition. In addition to the loveliness that is the Salem Carousel at Christmastime, they also have a WONDERFUL Santa and picture-taking set up. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to make such wonderful memories and have such fun with my girls. I admit, juggling 3 was a tad different. But then I remembered back a few years when I ventured out just Ash, Natty and I and thought "Man, this is a bit more difficult with 2!". 

My oh my how times change. 

My oh my how it just seems to keep getting better and better.

Present time!

Apparently Ashley pined over this music box everyday in Disneyland. Lucky for her Nana and Papa managed to smuggle it out of the park without her knowing.

Good to the last sprinkle!
