Happy Birthday to our spunky new 8 year old. Millie has been so excited for her birthday and so excited to be baptized. She is such a big kid in many ways. She loves people and helping and being in charge. She loves being right in the middle of whatever is going on.

On Friday the 10th – she had all of her friends over for cake and presents and then we took everyone to Coconut Cove to play on the playground and slides! They had fun running all over the place and playing tag and hide and go seek. When everyone was tired we loaded the car and dropped everyone off at their homes.

Saturday the 11th was her BIG DAY. We opened presents and celebrated and went to LOTS of soccer games. She got lots of fun toys and loved her gymnastics ribbons. We went to McDonalds that evening!

Millie just loves life and loves her birthday and loves the attention! We had cake the day before so we celebrated with the McDonalds cookies that we scored.

and don’t worry we remembered to do the spanking train the next night!

It’s so fun when the teacher sends you pictures. This isn’t in blog order but how could you not blog this cutie!

Millie in her sweet LOL sweatshirt and rockin the bball shoes. Ms Leavitt is so great with her already. She was Cali’s teacher before and she was the art teacher for all of the 5 youngest so she knows us pretty well. Her teacher said: “Millie isn’t the same as Cali and Rosie is she? She is her own girl!” That is our Millie girl – full of life and love.

Millie got these shoes for Preschool. She is still wearing them to 2nd grade! They are 2 sizes too small and not her main shoes but it cracks me up every time I see her wearing them.
