Cassidy did manage to get in some snow play as I was trying to get into town one day. She was determined to get some good "snow cones" and her and Mossy lasted about 10 minutes. It was the most energy she had all week! Of course, she is rarely too sick to not wear a "pretty dress".
Mossy ready to "pounce"
Cassidy prefers the "finger" method to making her snow cones...
She got to wake up Saturday morning to the house decorated for her party. She was very excited about her streamers and all the Dora decorations.
Her new "princess dresses" were a big hit
Her friends came over for a playdate and goodies. She had a great time showing off her big girl bed and playing
Sunday brought the whole family down to help celebrate
Mossy got a little special lovin' as well
Cass and her Grandmas'
We had a little surprise for every one as well....Cassidy's last gift to open was a tee-shirt that said "Big Sister" 
She didn't quite get why every one liked that gift the best, but was game for all the pictures and I think she'll be very excited once she figures it out. We are about 7 weeks along now...we'll keep you posted!
Cassidy and Mossy seemed to hit it off from the start, and Cassidy started asking right away if we were taking the puppy home. Mossy was quick to start following Cassidy, running behind and trying to keep up. It won't be too long....
Echo came along as well to give her approval and I think they'll be good buddies...Echo hasn't been the same since loosing Remi and we are hoping the puppy will help. They had fun on the farm, but I think Echo was a little confused when the pup came home with us...we'll see!
Check out that stride!
Uncle Bryce kept Cassidy moving while Chad and I discussed our plan. It was a huge help considering we had 5+ hours in the car to get back home.
Once home one of the first jobs was to give her a bath. The farm that she came from wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. There were quite a few dogs and she was outside. Poor lil' thing has some pretty good nics from her kennel mates, but no doubt she'll be tough.
Chad, Cassidy and Mossy spent the day getting a vet check (all clear, just needs to put on some weight and muscle) and then puppy supplies, including a new bed and lots of toys! Cassidy made sure they brought some good stuff home for Echo too. 
Mossy is very curious and doesn't miss much that's going on. No doubt her and Cassidy are going to be great friends.
Mossy has some pretty big paws to fill, but I think she'll be up for the challenge. The breed shares many great attributes with Labs, but some major differences as well. It should be interesting! But so far she has settled in well and has been great. She is probably one of the sweetest, and softest, lil pups I've known. There is very little nipping and lots of cuddling, definitely the good stuff.
Cassidy also wanted to share Ziggy with Ainsley and the girls had a blast riding double. Ainsley was a great sport about being squished into the saddle and Cass was very proud of her pony.
And then she got her big girl bunk bed. She took her nap in our bed and awoke to her bed all put together and ready to go..I should say climb! She was so excited she wanted to go right back to bed.
Cassidy is very proud of her new bed and if you talk to her, I'm sure you'll hear all about it! Chad and I worked very hard to find a bedspread/pattern that wasn't princess that she liked!, and she really does like it. She even picked a flower accent pillow instead of a princess one. I was so proud! She doesn't quite understand why Mamma won't let her sleep in the top bunk, but we did agree it is a good place for all her babies and stuffed animals to sleep.
