Happy Birthday Hope

My sweet girl turned 8 on Groundhog's Day.

It's funny when you're a child the count down to your birthday starts months before. What excitement that day brings.

When you're older it's another story ha ha

Hope's day was full of fun, making cupcakes the night before and adding sprinkles the morning before we left for school. Her teacher is so sweet and makes each child feel so special.

Michael came in to surprise Hope. Big brothers are always such a hit with the kids and he is a whiz at pouring juice~thanks Michael!

Sadly after the festivities that night, Hope came down with the flu and is just getting beck to her chatty self. She hasn't even been able to play with her new toys.

This morning when she asked for her paper and pencils because she wanted to draw I breathed a thankful sigh of relief.

Happy Birthday Hope, we love you so much ( and I'm still patiently waiting to play with your metal detector!)
