My little girl is 9 years old! Right before my eyes she is growing into a beautiful young woman! Why does time go so fast the older we get!
Hope was so proud of herself because Monday night she was determined to stay up until she was officially 9 years old. (12:05 am). I alway tease my kids and tell them they are "blank age" until it's their actual birth time of day! So Hope was anxiously waiting until she was officially nine years old! Well, she stayed up until 12:05 am, but just barely!
We had a fun birthday party for Hope on her birthday Tuesday. Hope invited some friends over and we had a sub with all the fixings. We took pictures of each guest with their favorite Webkin or other stuffed animal friend. Then the girls made picture frames to put their pictures in and we played lots of games! It was a crazy good time.
After everyone left we let Hope open her presents from the family. The best moment was when Hope opened the Easy Bake Oven that I had gotten for her. Her jaw dropped to the ground and she said, "Really? For me? Thank you Mom!" I felt like the best Mom in the world at that moment. She then gave me a big hug and later in true Hope affection went around the room and hugged everyone there and said thank you! She made it all worth it with her gratitude! Cleaning up all the mess and fun became almost enjoyable after that!
Hillary gave Hope this cute Easy Bake Oven Apron, hat and cooking mit set. She totally dolled it up with flowers and bling! She used fabric paint to put Hope's name on it! It turned out SO Cute! Hope just loves it!
We sure love our Hope! She brings so much love and beauty into our lives every day! Happy Birthday sweetheart!
