Brooke's 7!!

 While the weather was cold and rainy, it was warm and happy inside while we celebrated Brooke's 7th Birthday with family and friends.  Since Brooke wanted to go out on the boat and it rained Saturday, we went out on Lake Michigan and the Milwaukee River on Sunday.  Here are pictures of the weekend...

Her "theme" was Fancy Nancy, hence the fancy crown cake

She LOVED her decorate-your-own headbands...

...and her fancy sparkly jeans

She couldn't wait to get her fancy outfit and boots on.
(Do you think the girl likes clothes?  Are you recognizing a theme?)

Mana and Papa surprised her and came dressed for the theme.
Mana had on a tiara and chandelier earrings, and papa put on a tie with his shorts - LOL...

...But I think Great Grandma Ginny stole the show with her $5 sequined gold pants!
She was waiting for a reason to wear them;)

Emily did a great job with the entertainment.  So glad she, Debbie, and Matt could come.

I had to take a picture of her one last time on the big day.

The sun finally came out right before we got off the water.

Oh yea, did I tell you the boat got stuck on a huge chunk of cement near the end of the river by the dam?
OMG totally gross - Matt had to get down to his underwear and literally push us off of it!
If I wasn't mistaken, you'd think this was a day with Dad (Grandpa Gillette- ha!)

We spent Monday morning (Labor Day) decorating her new headbands.
"Ooo La La", as Fancy Nancy would say
