Ashley's Birthday

At one time, Ashley's birthday was in the summer.  Now with the earlier starts, she is actually in school on her birthday.  Here she is wearing a her birthday dress just before she leaves for school.

One advantage of being at school on your birthday is that your friends decorate your locker:

Her main gift from us was a new bowling ball:

She had a birthday party later that night.  It was pretty simple.  She invited a few friends to the Hollywood Palms Theater.  It is one of those movie places that serves you dinner during the movie.  She and her friends went to see the movie "The Giver"  After dinner and the movie they all came back to our house for a bonfire in the backyard.  It was really easy and I think they all had a fun time.

I found "Ashley" cokes for everyone to drink

She had an oreo ice cream cake too
