Lauren turns 8

Tuesday, April 23, 2013

This girl was suuuppper excited about her birthday celebrations this year :) And I don't blame her of course! The day was cold, much like the day she was born! Here she is before school. She took zebra cakes as her treat for a snack. The zebra stripes was her 'theme' this year :)

Lindsay 6-8mo & Lauren 8!

Lola agreed to watch Lydia & LeaAnn for me and I got to go and eat lunch with the birthday girl :) Very fun, my first time getting to do that with any of them. I had to giggle thinking of Chris sitting on the tiny seats at the table :)
Here they are after school...

SO hard to wait to open her presents... :) Dad was still working.



She picked out her outfit all by herself :)


FINALLY... Dad did come home :)

As you can see here she opened her American Girl Doll :) I video taped that... to be on another post ;) She was very excited and after she received some help from Dad, Lauren decided to name her Crystal. :D
Here she is opening up the Doll & Me clothes that Mimi gave her.

Signing Crystal up on-line...


the little-one feeling left out... :)

Grammy & Papa Jim came over for dinner! The birthday girl requested Pad Thai and it was a hit for everyone.



Had to keep this b/c it's such a common occurrence and an adorable one at that :)


Time for cake!! :D Isn't it awesome?!? Grammy's great talents at work :)






Thinking hard... she wouldn't tell us her wish ;)



LeaAnn couldn't wait for cake!

It was delicious :) Marilyn Peck's chocolate frosting recipe... delicious!




And look who was a good sport and took a family picture!!! :)

Have to give him credit, he did pretty well ;)



Matching jammies :) thank you Mimi!!

And b/c there was all the talk about babies and being in mommy's tummy... Lydia decided to make herself have babies in her tummy! ;)

I know that Lauren and Lindsay did the same thing at Grammy's house once :)
