Happy 8th Birthday Dada

Today is Dada's 8Th birthday. She has been looking forward and counting down the days since January! She couldn't sleep last night cuz she was so excited about today.

We have had a good day today. I really try to make their birth DAY special for them.

Grandma S came over this morning. She wanted to see her ON her birthday and drop off her presents.

For lunch I made her favorite....spaghetti and of course the biscuits. :)

She requested a strawberry cake, b/c she had 1 at Grandma's and it was REALLY good.

She wanted to help ice the cake. And then she put sprinkles on it. I think I have been stepping on sprinkles all day. Even after sweeping the floor 2 times!! :)

After lunch we surprised the kids by taking them to Monkey Joes. They didn't know where we were going until we pulled into the parking lot. We had them guessing the whole way there.

They had a fun time running around and jumping.

The kids were tuckered out after about an hour. So we headed home.

What's a birthday without presents?? Dada loves playing with dolls. So when I saw the little doll hair chair, I knew it would be perfect for her. And you can always use new baby clothes.....right?!?!


Dada is now geared up for her slumber party that she is having tonight. Brother went to spend the night at Grandma's. I think he couldn't wait to leave!!! ;)
