She turned 8!

We realize P Cilla had a birthday in June. We also realized that her birthday fell the same weekend we moved so please do not judge that we had her party a month later and are just now posting the pictures. It was a bowling party. The best part...instead of getting presents from her friends she asked that they bring donations of dog food for her to take to the Boston Terrier Rescue Society. We have not taken the food yet either, but we will. What a big girl thing for her to do. She is growing and changing so much. She is becoming a mature little girl instead of a child. It is bittersweet. Her love for animals has made her really want to become a vet when she grows up. However, she also says she wants to be an artist. Dear God, please let her be a successful vet instead of a starving artist like her mother, literally starving. Ha ha! My suggestion is that she becomes a vet and then sells her artwork in her office. We shall see, I mean after all she is only eight. Well her are some photos from the birthday party...

None of the parents or grandparents bowled, although Kiki is supposed to be an excellent bowler.

Baby Jack is the bowler of the year!

The homemade cake!

Yes we (Grammy included) Stayed up until midnight the night before making a birthday cake shaped like a dong bone. Have you ever seen a purple dog bone? I also became very creative as I became more sleep deprived, and made goodie bags that looked like doggie bags. They were brown paper bags with decorations on the outside and tied together with ribbon. Inside were cookies so each child received a doggie bag with treats in them. it was great. We had a dog-gone-good-time. Har Har.
