Oh Good Heaven....Ivy is Seven

I seriously can not believe how fast time flies. Ivy Marie turned 7 today! I was glad that Trichelle and Ivy invited me to share part of the day with them. I met them for lunch. We went for Sushi.....Yes ~ Ivy likes Sushi. I just look at Ivy and can't believe how grown up she is. What a blessing children are......mine as well as the grands! I love being a mom and gramma......it's my favorite thing ever!

I have a hard time with those darn chop sticks. I have to really concentrate to get them to work. Ivy figured a very unique way of holding and using hers. Hahaha.....it made me laugh!

After lunch we went to Barnes and Noble. I had decided that since Ivy loves to read and is a very good reader that I would get her books. I love books! I love book stores! Ivy chose a few books from a few different series to see if she likes them. One of the series is "Ivy & Bean". She chose that since it is about a little 7 year old girl named Ivy. I Love our Ivy Marie!
