New shirt. Turning 8 is Great!
We gathered up these cute little friends and headed to Richfield for a party day.
The party started off with lunch at the Chinese restaurant. It is always so much more fun to eat food with sticks instead of forks.
Next up...bowling!
And...what party would be complete without a trip to the arcade?
One last stop at Ideal Dairy for a slush and icecream before heading home. Something Shane used to get with his grandparents when he was a little boy.
Haylie had to wait until we returned home to open her presents. She didn't mind because on the way home we surprised her and told her that her BFF Laine was going to have a tend over at our house. They were beyond excited.
She took time to read the birthday card before opening the blanket Brody made for her.
She was absolutely thrilled with this gift!
They jammed out until about 2:00 a.m. then I finally told them they should probably turn of the karaoke machine and go to sleep.
Birthday cake with the family the day after.
These two fun cousins are only 3 weeks apart in age and good little buddies.
One thing I absolutely love about Haylie is that she is always sincerely grateful for the gifts she receives. A true example to those around her.
This is what you do when it is your birthday and all the guests have gone. I think she finished what was left.
I am extremely grateful for this little girl and for the happiness she brings into our lives each and every day. She is a little ray of sunshine. She smiles often, laughs easily, and is constantly bringing joy into our household. Such a fun little girl to be around. Love you Midge!
