Unforgettable Eighth!

Life has such a funny way of speeding up on you as an adult. If you had asked me the night that Big Sister was born if I could envision this blessed little creature turning eight, I would have answered it would take an eternity.

Fast forward eight years...three moves, six homes, three schools. We have a healthy, vibrant, young girl in our midst. She is in a perpetual state of mental and physical motion, much to my frustration at times, but, she definitely brings a twinkle to my eye. Her unforgettable 8th, began with a snowstorm. She spent the better part of the evening prior hoping the snow would cease so she could have her party. Unfortunately, she awoke to snow falling at a steady rate. She and Hubby were out on their monthly Saturday morning adventure, when heading to breakfast they were in a car accident. The other driver could not stop in time, ran the red light, and munched Hubby's car. Poor munchkin, when I reached her by phone to let her know we rescheduled the party for the following afternoon, all she could say was "It was HIS fault!" Once she realized her party was moved and everyone could attend, she was relieved.

January 31, 2010...Birthday Party at Pancho Villa is held! Everyone managed to get out of their driveways and join us for some Mexican fare and fun.

Her Pirate-y Fiesta was a success!

It will definitely be hard to top a snowstorm, car accident, and a rescheduled birthday party!
