Because Brian can't be in Thatcher on Monday for Ashley's 8th Birthday we are going to celebrate today. We are treating today like it's her birthday. On her actual birthday the girls and I will have a smaller celebration in Thatcher. What kid doesn't want to get their presents two days early?
We started out the morning opening presents.
She received: Bella Sara horses, Sketchers light-up twinkle toe shoes, silver 8 necklace, crystal and pearl necklace to go with her baptism dress, blue flower necklace, silver locket necklace, real leather all-in-one scriptures, 2 packages of socks, battle zue zue pet, and her favorite toy was a Barbie that came with 3 little dogs that pee. (last year she got the Barbie pooping dog, who knew kids would want something like that).
For Breakfast we choose french toast sticks after which I took them to the Stapley pool for two hours.
I made a simple pink birthday cake yesterday and Brian's grandma ate a piece out of it when she woke up this morning. She didn't realize it was a birthday cake until after she ate it. She told Ashley she was sorry. And both Ashley and Nicole said it's OK. I don't think she minded at all.
I got Ashley candles that relight after you blow them out. They were sparking everywhere and kept relighting and shooting out more sparks. Kind of scary actually. She was a little freaked out by them but also thought they were lots of fun.
In the afternoon we went to see Despicable Me 3D in the theaters. Usually I don't like 3D but this one worked out well. Ashley wore her new light up shoes and they were blinking so brightly I thought maybe she should take them off during the movie. She said she would be careful not to have them blink so I let her leave them on and she only set them off once. These are really bright shoes. The little girls loved the little yellow guys in the movie.
After the movie Ashley chose Mime Cafe for her birthday dinner. We called and invited Marion but she had already eaten. Ashley loves their gummy worms in "dirt" for dessert.
Ashley had a really good day and so did the family getting to spend some time together.
