Josie TURNED 8

Well Josie's Birthday finally made her and passed. By the time her birthday came I thought I would scream if I heard another word about it. She was so stinkin excited and made sure we all knew what a great day it was. We celebrated it as a family on her special day and then she had a party for a few friends. By the end of the two parties she was singing..."THIS IS MY BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!". So I felt pretty successful and relieved that her expectations were met and exceeded.

One of the great things about having siblings is that you are pretty much guaranteed at least as many presents as you have siblings. They are all so excited to give the presents to the birthday girl (or boy) that it makes it fun for everyone.

Here's some pics from her special day:

(Here's Jaed and Josie. Jaed's not really in to hugging his sisters but when it's their birthday he lets down his guard a bit.)


















(Here's Indi and Josie....they are such sweet sisters......most of the time.)


















(Little Kaia was more excited to play with Josie's new toys then Josie was, I think.)


















(Little Zoey didn't want to hand over the toy she got Josie. She thought the toy was hers for sure!)




















(Here's the best present of all! Josie asked for this doll house for Christmas but we didn't get it for her then so we decided to surprise her with it on her birthday!)


















HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSIE!!!
