She started the day opening presents.
Shoes are always a winner for 8 year old girls.
We had a cookout at the campout spot by the water.
And then for the cake. She saw this cake recipe in a Quick Cooking (old issue) earlier this summer and immediately knew she wanted it for her birthday cake. Angel food, Cool Whip, fudge, Butterfinger pieces. Yum!!
Happy Birthday sweet baby girl, who's 8!You light up our life.
**The day before her birthday she was so excited and smiling so hard that I caught her squeezing her cheeks together to stop all the smiling. We all laughed over that one.
Good morning everybody. (8:30 a.m.) Beauiful girl and looks like you had a great birthday party sweet Lou. Keep smiling!!Love: G-me!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the refreshing reminder of how exciting birthdays are to children! As an adult it's easy to fall into the "oh no, not another birthday" rut- having your own disposable income to spend throughout the year and society's expectation that aging is but a loss of youth (or worse) mean that the day can lose its special meaning. After all, what better way than a birthday to celebrate a person?
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations! :-)
Happy Bday! looks like a great camp fire!
