8...

Oh to be 8 again.
No real cares in the world.

Just eyeing the cake that your big sister made for you.  Because it was so hard to wait for everyone to get to the point of wanting to eat cake after going out and eating lunch just so you could have your much loved Pasta and Alfredo sauce.  Everyone ate too much.  A trip to the park was made just to work lunch off a little faster for everyone.

Big sis made sure you had a chocolate My Little Pony cake with raspberry cream cheese frosting.
Just because you mentioned it so many times.


Proud of yourself that you can still blow all the candles out in one breath.


Enjoying cleaning the hooves off to make sure you can play with the ponies later.


Cutting the first slice and deciding how big your slice of cake will be.


And then playing for hours with all the new things you got as presents.
Who knew that the train whistle you have had for a few years now would finally find it's true purpose in life.  To warn the ponies who have fallen onto the train tracks to move or get run over.


To be 8 again.
Love you Little B!

  6. Happy Birthday to your little girl who sounds just like an 8 year old should. Enjoying little girl things, imaginative games and ponies. That sounds like a real childhood instead of 8 year olds trying to be teens before their time. Sadly that it something I see too much of in our country. Enjoy her! :)

  11. What a sweet birthday! I would definitely go back to being 8 again, if I could! :)) Your daughter is sure a cutie. I'll bet it's just a bit bittersweet to watch her grow up so quickly.
