Her first birthday party went great! I made her a castle cake, and made everyone promise not to tell her it was "a little wonky" She thought it was great.
As one of her birthday presents she wanted to get her ears pierced. She has been asking for this since we met her when we were hosting her. She is a glam girl. Once she got in the chair though she covered her ears up and started pitching a fit. I told her mommy didn't care if she got her ears pierced or not, but if she was going to do it she could not do that or she'd end up with some messed up piercing! She decided the glam was worth the pain, and she did great. They have a case of piercing earrings to choose from, of course she wanted the biggest CZ ones they had, they were HUGE! I told her she was 8 not 80 and she went with the smallest cz ones to please us both. For birthdays in our family you get to pick where the family eats dinner. A new chickfila just opened down the street, so she choose that. I think she loved her first birthday!
What a lovely smile she has in all these pictures. It really shows that she finally understands what it means to be the "Birthday Girl" and how much fun it can be. How wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteMom, has anyone told you that you daughter looks a lot like you?? Amazing how many of your features she has. It is obvious that she was meant to be a part of your family!
Oh how exciting it is to see a beautiful smile on her face that says I LOVE MY LIFE IN AMERICA AND MY FAMILY!!
Love,
