Grammy had 7 kids of her own, 4 girls, 3 boys.
She has always wanted to host the Lion House Birthday parties.
She has fulfilled that dream, and has created a fun
tradition of an 8 year old
Lion House Birthday!
Thank you Grammy (and Papa J)!

The doll.
Each Birthday girl gets to choose a porcelain doll to take home.

Abby knew she wanted the doll in the green dress.
It is beautiful!Dinner

Birthday cake.
Don't look too scared Abby....it is only a stuffed lion behind your back!
LH tradition is to bake one gumball in the cake.
Whoever finds the gumball in their piece of cake, gets
good luck for a year! Abby found the gumball!
