8 Years Old
- You are 8 years old!!! This is a special year for you. You have chosen to get baptized. With the craziness of birthdays and spring break, we picked April 13 for the day. To celebrate your birthday, you were able to invite some friends from school and church to come over to decorate fairy houses. The weather was gorgeous so whenever you girls weren't painting or hot gluing items to the house, you were all running around outside and jumping on the trampoline. Maggie helped you decorate a cake the night before and you ended the day with opening presents.
- The really funny story was what happened before your party. I get a call from the school that during PE, you and Maddy got into the tampons and played with them all. Two more girls came in, one joined you and another told the teacher. You all earned lunch detention on Monday. We talked about it the next day, and you were able to earn money through extra chores and buy tampons to give back to the school. I had you deliver them in a brown paper bag with you writing "I am so sorry" on the front. Later that week I was telling my friend who works at the school and she started laughing because she was the one that had to deliver them and was so confused on the back story of this bag of tampons.
- Also this week, Dad and I went to Costa Rica so Grandma and Papa was able to watch you all when we were gone. It was a mix of staying at their house and staying at our house. They were so sweet to take care of you all.
- This month, you also preformed in the Little Mermaid. This is your first real theater experience. At the beginning of all the practices, you complained that they were boring and you didn't want to do this next year. But as the performances got closer and the more you were able to go on the stage and make friends, you really enjoyed your time there. You were Rochelle, a very sassy mermaid. You loved all the makeup you got to wear for each performance. Your line was, "She totally brings down the tone"
