It's Great To Be Eight!

Happy Birthday, Erica Nicole!

We celebrated Erica's 8th Birthday on May 20th. Here she is with her choice of breakfast - pancakes, bacon and eggs!

We went out to buy her a new Webkinz doll, a gift from Grandma Louise.

Jumping for joy into the pool at swimming lessons!

Then, we all had pedicures and manicures in her honor.

Her American Girl Doll arrived from the doll hospital! She is all cleaned up and healthy now!

Dinner at Red Robin with Grandma and Grandpa!

The theme for her actual birthday party was "It's Great to be 8!" Can you tell that the cake is in the shape of an 8?

The party started with each girl receiving a jumprope. They had fun jumping both at the beginning and the end of the party!

Then it was time for indoor fun. We taught the kids to play "Crazy Eights!"

Then we played a memory game. Erica chose eight things to put on a tray. After looking at the tray for a minute, the girls tried to remember as many items as possible.

Twister (with 8 feet starting at a time!)

Chubby Bunny - the max was 4 marshmallows. I was hoping to see if someone could fit 8 of them into their mouths!

Thanks for celebrating with us!
