Michaela got some new pets!


Today was Michaela's birthday! It was seven years ago today that she gave me the gift of motherhood...and what an adventure it has been. We are so glad to have Michaela as part of our family. She is thoughtful, caring, imaginative and creative and we love her.

For her birthday, we celebrated with a Littlest Pet Shop Party.
The kids decorated their goody bags as little animals.

They made little pet pals out of little beads that you melt together with an iron. They loved it, but they were quite time consuming.
They dropped milk bones into the bottle to see who could get the most in. It was a lot harder than it looks and the high scorer was Alanna with 4 out of 10.We played an animal match game.
The kids loved playing musical Lily pads and hopping as frogs. It was all animal fun.
One of Michaela's favorite gifts (she loved them all) was a new black cat named Midnight. Luckily, it's a webkinz so you care for it online...I can handle cleaning up online poop!
Michaela also got lots of littlest pet shop toys. Thank goodness no one brought any real pets! (Don't get any ideas Pops!)
It was a great birthday. This last picture was taken last night after Michaela got her present from mom and dad. Can you guess what it was? She was given the option of doing it at the same time to get it over quicker, but she said she'd just do it one at a time and that it was no big deal and didn't hurt. What a brave girl! (Yes...we let her get her ears pierced.)
Happy Birthday Michaela!

Awwwww, so cute and so big! Where does the time go?

Hannah is going to be so jealous over those pierced ears. Ever since starting Kindergarten she is all over the ear business.

Wow, what a fun party and Michaela has her ear's pierced! I don't think I will tell Kaitlyn-I will let her figure it out the next time she sees her.
