Way back in October Melanie turned 8. She had a great time, made extra special with family from far who could celebrate with us! We were just recovering from hand foot mouth disease (which, CC, I am very sorry to have shared with you! :( ) and Melanie thought it was only fair that she was the only kid who didn't get it "because it's going to be MY birthday!"
She patiently waited a few days for our outing, and instead we decorated a cake together. (Hey, we're getting a bit better with practice!)
She thought it deserved a few extra pictures:
Games were played, new to us. :)
Cards and presents
(Yes Jennifer was a nuisance and had to be kept in line!)
Oh, you mean this is going to be extra work for me?
We love Melanie! She is going through a "drama stage" it seems, but we don't fail to notice her kids heart, her helping out her younger siblings, and her eagerness to please. What a blessing to our family.
