nine

Avery turned nine on Thursday! We started out the day with a present of Corn Pops. I think she thought it was going to be something better than a box of cereal.

Then a family birthday, with Pizza Hut for dinner and cake and pumpkin pie for dessert.

Last night she got to have her first slumber party. Let me tell you, third grade girls are something else. I'm not sure I'll be sad to see them all go home this morning!

I got the bug to make favors, so I sewed up these bags and put in fruit Mentos, a notebook, pen, and nail file.

I love watching the girls grow. It's amazing how quickly the years have gone by.
