Dillsboro and Afton's birthday

Backing up again......in December we made our annual pilgrimage to Dillsboro NC to sip hot chocolate, check out the quaint little shops, talk to the bear, eat good pizza and indulge in some treats from the fudge shop. (Lots of deliciousness associated with this tradition!) We managed to snag the last horse-drawn wagon ride of the night, and entertained the onlookers with our rousing rendition of the 12 days of Christmas, as always. This year was kind of a bummer though, because Scott couldn't be there and was sorely missed (he had good reason though, one of the young men he was Bishop for was leaving on his mission soon and asked Scott to come to the temple with him).






And then as if that wasn't enough fun, Afton turned six. SIX! That's big! Lydia started the day off right by making Afton a special birthday cup for breakfast...


I kept it going by coming to school lunch and sweetening it up with an ice cream...



Then homemade pizza was her birthday dinner request ("just cheese please, no other stuff on it").


And an Anna doll/dress up combo was her gift.


(On a side note, it's kind of fun to see the deterioration of her hair throughout the day in this series of photos.)
