THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Happy 8th Birthday Mia

My Beautiful Baby is 8!
Mia turned 8 years old a few days ago.  I can't believe how grown up she's getting.  

She couldn't wait to open her presents.  It was the first thing she did after breakfast.

Mia got a bunch of American Girl stuff, a tennis racket, and Zhu Zhu pets.  (not sure why Cole looks so deep in thought)


Here's Mia's birthday cake.  Not fancy, but she didn't care.  She gets the cool one at her birthday party in a week and a half.  We had to delay it because almost all her friends are out of town.

I wonder what she wished for....hmmmmm

Today she got her ears pierced.  It's an event she's been excited about for years.  Her best friend Katelyn came along for moral support.





Happy Birthday Mia!
