On the afternoon of August 19th, Grandma Susie and Grandpa Chick arrived. Although most of the festivities were set for the weekend, we let her have one present to open from G&G and bought her an ice cream cake with Snoopy on it. She enjoyed the mini celebration.
The gift we let her open from G&G was a fishing pole. So, on August 20th while I was at work, Grandpa, Grandma and Daddy took her fishing for the first time. She had fun! But some of these pictures are hilarious.
She apparently did a great job practice casting.
Here, Grandpa is baiting the hook for real.
There's a fish! Jovie is excited!
However, as the fish gets closer, she is less and less sure. Then the fish flops...
And this is the reaction. :)
They say she kept fishing and had a good time, but any time they would actually catch one, she would let Daddy or Grandpa reel it in and touch it.
On Friday, in the afternoon, we went to Anna's play and to Aunt Tiffy's house for a cookout after. I thought I got a picture of Anna and Jovie at the play, but for some reason, I don't. It was really cute, and Jovie enjoyed it.
On Saturday, the Rozelles came over so we could have a full-on birthday party. The girls went to Paint a Treasure in Haddon Heights, and had a fun time choosing something to paint.
Of all the super cute things, Jovie chose a frog.
Jovie used many paintbrushes! By my count, it was in the 30's. She names her frog "Sheeba" and Sheeba has an honored place on our porch.
The girls and their final creations!
Lunch back at our house- it was a gorgeous day!
Then, on to opening presents (You'll notice there were many outfit changes during the day.)
Here comes the big one!
It's...

The Rozelles got her a super cute long, long dress. Which she is modeling here.
