Birthday Party Success

It was Alicia's 8th birthday yesterday. I can hardly believe it. Achievement days here we come. Baptism right around the corner. Yikes.

Since our Saturdays for this month were booked, we did Alicia's birthday party with friends yesterday too. You know the party is a success when you hear numerous girls saying during and after the party, "This is the best party ever!" Music to my party weary ears.

Alicia wanted a pj party which of course meant decorating pillow cases with fabric markers. Hope I don't have any angry parents out there with the marker rubbed off on other items. Dryer people!!


Speaking of Achievement Days, they let Alicia go a day early where they made these lovely creations -

I promise Alicia knows how to smile normally. Let's hope she remembers that for our family pictures next week. I am stressed enough about it as it is.
