Millie is 9!!!

Still having a hard time wrapping my brain around the idea that Millie is 9!!! On her birthday Matt said, "We are half-way done with her" and I burst out in tears! We always have them, but as they get older I realize how little time they are actually ours to mold and guide!!! Okay, enough with that...on to the cake! The fairy cake (or should I say icing) was the hit of the day. Three layers of icing with a little cake decorated with fairies is every girls' dream right?!?! Millie couldn't wait to take pictures to show her friends and then I had to take the picture to show my friends.

She had a great day of church, lunch at Pei Wei and a quiet party at home with the fam. Thanks for all the well wishes, cards and gifts - she loved the attention and love sent!

THE CAKE!!!!

Modeling the new bday outfit - dog not included

Her new rug for her room - she is becoming a TWEEN!

Never enough books!

The owl scissors ($2) were the most celebrated of the gifts!

Owls, owls, owsl - still wish my mom had her carpet wall hanging from the 70s!

Thanks Nana and Papa!
