Now We Are 8!

Someone came to see us last month. Someone wearing these socks.
And this shirt.
And we ate these bunny cupcakes.
By now you have guessed that it was Anne Marie... for her eighth birthday.  We made snow globes!
And there is something else you may notice about her hair...yes, I put a pink streak in!! She was worried what mommy would say, but it was a simple chalk hair pen that comes right out. The bunny is looking on disapprovingly, but I like the look!
And around ten o'clock, she left for bed, after some pictures with Phil and I. A good evening!
She is so big now. It seems like only yesterday she looked like this...


“I’ll take joy in Jerusalem, take delight in my people: No more sounds of weeping in the city, no cries of anguish; No more babies dying in the cradle, or old people who don’t enjoy a full lifetime; One-hundredth birthdays will be considered normal— anything less will seem like a cheat.”
Isaiah 65

Happy 8th birthday to Anne Marie! I love her cute socks and kitty shirt :-)
She looks pretty with the pink streak in her hair. I don't think her mom will mind as it comes right out. I like the look on the bunny. Hahaha.
Love the last picture..she has the same smile now as then :-)

Those little girls are fast growing up to be young ladies. I know the feeling,because my Kai is also eight.

Almost forgot Ginny, I wanted to thank you for the idea on the salmon recipe. That sounds delicious and I will try it the next time I cook salmon.

Happy Birthday Anne Marie!
I love the socks and that super cute tee shirt. I wonder if my kitties would like glasses like that?

It looks like everyone had a wonderful time.

Like the way you have introduced her. One apparel at a time.

Oh, doesn't the time fly with our young ones! I want to just make time stand still sometimes. They are growing up much too fast.
