Do you truly remember a time in your life that you were sooooooooooooo excited about your upcoming Birthday that you couldn’t possibly wait?!!
Me too!!! =]
It has been so fun the last few weeks seeing her excitement grow! Who could possibly know that turning 8 years old could be THIS much fun!!
I really thought she would never be able to go to bed last night, but after a few calls of ’Mom, I can’t go to sleep’ she was dreaming peacefully!!
I decorated her room with balloons and left her a trail through the entire house with yarn! Instructions were left for her to ‘follow me’!
She found the end of her string tied to her new trampoline in the garage! It was a surprise that she did not expect at all!
Being a school day we were rushed to get out the door in time so we are probably short on few pictures of the birthday girl’s bed head!
She did not forget her Birthday Girl ribbon that her Nana bought for her!
(Mrs. Hannah … I truly apologize for excitement today! )
It feels like such a dream that our baby girl is turning 8 today! Shannon and I looked through her baby album last night before bed and needless to say we each were a little stunned at the realization how fast the last few years have gone. It seems like only yesterday in one way … and a lifetime ago in others.
We took these photos a few days ago … I can’t remember what I bribed her with at this moment, but I am sure it was something she thought was a good deal at the time! =]
I am so glad we did! I love this smile…..
