I thought they did a pretty good job. The picture on the right is kind of what it is supposed to look like. They did well for their first cake decorating experience!

We traveled to Conyers for the 4th of July to visit family and to celebrate Ansley's birthday at the American Girl store and bistro. John stayed for a few days and then I stayed on for a few extra days. We still ran out of time and didn't get to see all the family and friends that we intended to. There is always too much to do while we are there.

On Friday, July 3rd, we took Ansley and Elisabeth to the American Girl store. Instead of having a big party this year she decided to go shopping at the store and eat dinner there with her dolls. It was fun! She picked out a new doll, Felicity, and Elisabeth got a Bitty baby which she named Becky. On July 4th we hung out at Ron and Jan's and went swimming in the lake. Mom and Ed came over and took a ride on the pontoon boat with us and ate dinner with us that evening. That night we headed to the big town of Porterdale and watched fireworks. It was a good fireworks show.......everyone enjoyed it! I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July!!
