Happy 8th Birthday Maggie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Eight?! 8?!!!? Maggie, how in the world are you 8 years old? Sweetheart, you are just growing up so fast on mommy! I am so proud to call you my little Maggie Moo, my sweetheart, my oldest daughter, my Moosie. I love you so much! You have the sweetest spirit and really let your light shine, showing kindness and grace to everyone you meet, which makes you such a joy to be around and boy do you love to laugh! That laugh is infectious too!! You can be impatient, opinionated and sometimes a little on the self-righteous side but you're happy to reign it in. You work so hard with your therapy and catch on so quick with your schoolwork smart girl; I'm always amazed by you sweetheart, I love you my girl!!

last night as a 7 year old

How we spent your day:

Sadly, you woke up with an upset tummy. :( You asked for a smoothie but lost it before you even got halfway finished. So you had to miss our Synergy group day with friends and Parent's Night Out, both which you were really looking forward to and had  been planning as part of your special day for awhile. The boys and I went to our group day just long enough to finish school work and came back home to find you were already feeling better. So much so, that you begged to eat the donuts our friends bought for your bday saying, "mom, it's my birthday!" I finally allowed it and you felt fine the rest of the day.

Happy 8th birthday Maggie!

You opened our present and cards sent from grandparents then we had cake after lunch. Jake really wanted a picture with his birthday girl sister! You two cuties.

You've been asking for this Hatchimal for awhile and were so excited to open her!! You never know what's inside, so I'm happy it was a yellow, pink & purple owl. Very girly for my girly girl. You asked for ice cream cake this year and it just so happens I have a recipe I used all the time years ago. It's Oreos, fudge, mint chocolate chip icing and cool whip. Just what you asked for and you loved it!!

Since you couldn't go to PNO, mommy and daddy took you out on a date instead. We got BBQ for dinner, one of your fave foods, and you requested a stop at Build-A-Bear to spend your birthday money. I really thought I took pictures of at least the bear stop, but apparently not! Either way, your day didn't go exactly as planned, but you still had a very special day and enjoyed it very much. Happy 8th birthday my sweetheart Maggie girl! I love you!!!!!!!!
