Holly is 8!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea how this happened, but Holly is now 8.  WHAT???  She was just a little baby a blink ago.  And now my baby is 8 and going into the 3rd grade.  WHAT??? 

SO BIG  *sigh!

We began our celebration with having daddy's homemade pancakes for Holly's birthday breakfast and opening some presents from us, Auntie Erica, and Grammy and Papa.  We packed up the party and headed north to Grandma Audrey's house to have cake and ice cream with her and my mom.  How great is it that they are here for her birthday???

 


Holly decided that she DEFINITELY wanted a slumber party for her birthday party this year.  We had a lot of fun planning the activities for her party over the last week.  She wanted a girly party, she wanted some fun, and she wanted her closest friends. 

We put together a geocache where the prizes were their goodie bag contents.  They got a manicure set, nail polish, lip gloss, and shower gels.  Yep, that's all sorts of girly!  They jumped on the trampoline, played in the tree house, and painted our nails while watching a movie.  Yep, that's all sorts of fun!  And we had her two best friends from school and a good friend from the neighborhood spend the night.  Yep, they are the right friends.  And we had one great party!  The girls all left tired but with smiles plastered across their faces.
