Sleep Under

Big Sister Gracie is at a "Sleep Under" birthday party tonight. Which is a birthday party that you do everything you'd do at a slumber party but you don't spend the night. A fun party for a bunch of 6 & 7 year olds :) So Josie decided she would have one at home with mommy. Pajama's, pizza, popcorn & one of her favorite movies. A very good time for both of us :) I love hanging with my little girl.

A little family competition on the bikes. And the winner, according to Josie, is Nana Marci :)

One Last Ride

On our last night of vacation we enjoyed one last family bike ride. Gracie wanted to show-off all her new skills & Josie was getting into a groove of pedaling on her own. So neat to see 3 generations of Rothleutner's on their bikes :) And Gracie leading the pack.
