8 candles

Its been 5 years since Bells had a birthday party, Wow, how bad is that? She's been missing out. Our adorable Bella turns 8 next week and if there was ever a year, boy this is it. 8 is a big year for a young lady in our family and she deserves a very special month. I excitedly helped her write out all of her invitations, she invited 5 girls and 3 boys until Dad squashed the boy idea, so we ended up with 8 girls on the list, 4 of which were able to come. Perfect. She chose the local pool as the place to be. It was THE easiest party on the planet. They swam for a few hours, had pizza, lemonade, an icecream cake, opened gifts and done. Most importantly, Bella was so happy. I love seeing a smile on her face and a bounce in her step.(especially since lately we've been riding the emotional roller coaster called being an 8 year old girl ) I really cant beleive she is almost 8. I say "its not fair!" in the whiney-est voice possible tonight. I love her so much, she's the funnest girl and biggest blessing in my life to have her as my daughter. We're glad you had a fun day sweet girl.
