It's the Gnome's golden birthday, and it was planned to include everything she loved, starting with  balloons on her door, and strawberry pancakes at Jimmy's.

 Then, we headed to the local salon for new, summer hair.  BEFORE (so sad).

 AFTER. (so happy)

 Next was the official gift opening.  Harper received a ukulele from her brother and only because it is her GOLDEN birthday, a TV from Mama and Daddy.

 We went out for steak and mashed potatoes and arrived back home in time for ice cream cake and playing outside.  Later that night, as I was tucking in our little girl, she squeezed my neck extra tight and said, "Thanks, mama.  it was the best birthday ever.  I love you."  I love you, too, Harps.  💜
