eight

Big A celebrated her 8th birthday this weekend.


I was wanting to do a whole post about her, and how much she lights up our lives, and brings her silliness and creativity to every part of her life.

she means the world to us and although her impact on my life has been profound, I'm just not all that ready to share about it here. maybe one day, but not right now. she knows all about it because we discuss it all the time, but for now, I'm chosing to just celebrate her.


plus, it was rainy out, we didnt even do a photo shoot, I feel bad about it, and I'm thinking that some nice photos ought to go along with our story :)


her Uncle John was in from CA and started her weekend off with a bang...new techie toys and a surprise greeting at the bus stop with flowers.

{please take note of the drastic skin tone difference that I didnt even attempt to correct. he is so tan is ridiculous, and it makes me spiteful}

Her fabulously delicious cake was made by Apron Strings Baking...a local gal working on building her baking business. I loooooved it, but whats more important is that Big A simply could not stop talking about it.





And to finish off her weekend, her cousins slept over that night, and they may has well have since they were up until 11:00.
The next day, I made the COLOSSAL mistake of letting them have fun dip (after breakfast, but yes, before lunch)...

fun dip is evil.

happy tuesday!
