Eight is Great!

My baby girl is 8! We celebrated with an "8 is great" party. She invited 8 friends. They were served an 8 course meal. They went on a real live scavenger hunt until they found 8 items. They participated in 8 stations that won them 8 tickets which awarded them 8 prizes. Then they had 8 desserts and went home a little past 8. It was crazy busy and I couldn't have done it without my girlfriends!

The scavenger hunt was the best. I delivered letters to all my neighbors (we have a great neighborhood) telling them if it was ok to have some rowdy but cute girls come to their house looking for things, to please put up a sign on their door. With it being Memorial weekend, I was a little nervous too many people would be gone, but that evening there was a green sign on practically every door! What wonderful neighbors! The girls broke up into teams and ran around to each house looking for odd things such as a sock with a hole in it, a grocery receipt, a candle, a Christmas card, etc. They brought home some pretty random stuff!

We are so lucky that Skyla came to our family eight years ago. She is such a happy and bubbly and full of life kid. She loves to play and has a great imagination. She is so thoughtful and is always concerned about other people. I'm so happy that this weekend is all about HER!

We love you Skyla!
