It's Great to be 8!




















Today our little girl turned 8. This is a birthday she has been waiting for. We didn't have as many decorations as I thought we did. But Avery and I harnessed our creative side and was able to make some hearts to put on the windows as well as make a rainbow and unicorn face all our of construction paper. We were both very pleased with the results. We had a little party later in the day. Grandma and Grandpa came over as well as Nona and Grumpy. We roasted hotdogs in our newly dug firepit and had some salads for dinner. After dinner Avery was excited to open her presents so we all gathered around and watched her do that. Kilian was super excited and we had to keep him from grabbing her presents and ripping into them. She had a good haul. Nona and Grumpy got her a cute vanity with some lotions, perfumes, and makeup. They also got her a new outfit and Nona made her some kitty masks to wear when we got shopping. It's mandatory right now to wear face masks in public. Her Grandma and Grandpa got her a super soft unicorn blanket with a huge jewelry making kit. We got her a new vet Barbie with some Barbie clothes and I was able to find some horses that a lady was selling online in great condition for cheap. Then the BIG gift (yeah we spoiled her a bit to much this year) a brand new big girl bike. She is SO excited. After presents we all sang Happy Birthday and had ice cream cake. We all visited for awhile before everyone started to head home. Avery spend the rest of the night riding her bike all over and we had to pretty much drag her inside when it was bed time. Overall I think she had a really great birthday.
