Big Tines turned eight! Her birthday was on a Tuesday, so we celebrated the Saturday before. She even opened her family presents that Saturday morning. I got her an old-fashioned quill pen that was a really good idea but was defective and got ink EVERYWHERE. I'm mad I didn't return it. She tried to use it a bit for a year or so until we finally threw it away.
Always books for Tiny.
It was her golden birthday (turning eight on the eighth), so I got special gold balloons for her birthday chair. These pictures were taken a few days later when we enjoyed a german pancake for breakfast.
I also got cute gold plates, cups, and napkins for the party. Sweet Bear made special "Happy Golden Birthday" balloons to put up by our birthday banner.
Tiny helped me make her cake - chocolate, with cream cheese frosting.
Rainbow platter. So proud. (Picture flipped.)
We had Kaia and Maya from school, Gustafsons and Bunnells from church/neighborhood, Cikaneks, and a couple of friends from Let's Play Music/rec soccer (Kate Packard and Clementine Colby). It was the traditional playbook - water balloons, pizza, cake, piñata, presents. After the water balloon fight, though, Cikaneks said everyeone was already wet so should just jump in their pool. Maya didn't have a swimsuit and was very embarrassed about swimming in a t-shirt but didn't want to borrow a suit, and I felt really bad about that.
Tiny loves to beat on piñatas.
Another birthday in the books for our sweetest Tiny!
