Happy Birthday Princess!

Last Friday we celebrated Sarah's 9th Birthday. NINE! One year less than double digits and half way to 18. Our repeated please for her to stop growing once again went unheeded. (yes, I'm going to post this on every single birthday post) :)

For her birthday she decided to do a spa night/sleepover. Once she picked the theme she started planning and letting me know everything we needed to get. The important part was that her brothers would not be allowed in the basement. It was girls only. We would do curlers in the hair, face masks, paint nails and relax while watching Maleficent. Sarah invited eight girls and I was surprised when all eight girls were able to come.




Don't the look relaxed?!

The boys were allowed to see her open presents

She had a problem blowing out the candles for some reason

The mermaid tale she'd been begging for.
 Notfrom us. :)

The next morning they woke up and started crafting. No one was in a hurry to have the fun end. :)


Sarah continues to be a dream child. She's very kind and even tempered. Her brothers are the only ones that get a rise out of her. She loves to read and the only trick is finding a new series that she can blow through. At parent/teacher conference a week ago her teacher said the only problem he has with her is that sometimes she's reading when she should be listening, so she misses out on instructions. Her teacher also said that her level of understanding is superior to her peers and that she is able to comprehend things on a deeper level than kids her own age.

When asked what she wants to be when she grows up she'll answer teacher most of the time. Last week we watched a movie called, "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Movie" and she said she might be undecided in case she wants to be a surgeon. :) We obviously don't expect her to pick a profession right now, but I know that the sky is the limit for her.

We are thankful every single day that we get to ber her parents. Happy Birthday Princess!
