EIGHT

Our sweet Natalie had a birthday -- 8 years old! When we moved here she was just a toddler and now look at her. We've never lived anywhere long enough to watch our kids 'grow up' in the same house, same neighborhood. It's good. Really good to have those memories.

She requested an Oreo ice cream cake for her family birthday. We didn't have 8 candles (poor planning, mom), but did have a #4 and 4 candles. So we did a little math along with the singing! :) It worked.


A few days later we celebrated with her friends with cupcakes and a trip to the local rec center that has a fabulous pool! They all had a great time!


We had
6 friends + our 5 + 'helper' Katie + Dennis and me = one GREAT time!


Her friends were very generous with their gifts. Natalie even scored a new pet (preauthorized of course!) -- a beta fish named Mario. We hope you had a wonderful 8th birthday!

Thank you for being such a beautiful daughter, Natalie. We love you tons!
