The day began with the traditional breakfast at IHOP. She has been choosing to go to IHOP for her birthday for a few years now. We'll see how long it lasts? We had to go a little early because S worked that morning and we wanted everyone to be there.
That afternoon she had a party with her friends from school. This is the pinata she chose.
The girls made some bracelets with beads.
Here's the birthday girl with her friends.
The hit of the party was the facepainter (K). We had planned a game of pin the horn on the unicorn during the facepainting so the girls woudn't just wait in line. But they hurried and did that so that they could go back and watch the facepainting.
The pinata in the garage. It was sooo cold in there but it was warmer than outside.
Opening presents
The girls decorated cupcakes and then ate them.
We then played a game of freeze dance while we waited for parents to come pick up the kids.
The next day we celebrated G birthday with the family.
She chose a My Little Pony Cake. No surprise there!
More presents... She still hadn't even opened all of her presents from us because she had been opening so many every single day this week. So we decided to spread it out and have her open a present a day for her birthday week.
And here she is... Our beautiful G. She is now 8 and will be getting baptized in a week. G brings so much joy into our lives. She is so caring, loving, sensitive to the needs of others and creative. It's fun to still have a child in our home. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for granting me this blessing after waiting so long for her to join our family.
