9 Going On 19

 Somebody is growing up!
Right before our very eyes.






Sydney is the big "9"!!

We started the day by letting
Sydney open her present from
the Grandparents.
Her requested present from
MONTHS ago
was finally here...
a tiger pillow pet!

Then a quick breakfast of
eggs!

For dinner the kids all put on
dress up clothes
and we decorated Sydney's chair
like a present.
Dinner was hot ham & cheese sliders
and her chocolate Rolo cookies for dessert!


Each of my kids have loved the
birthday plate they get from
primary!!


Daddy preps the candles.


9 candles make for a big glow!


She huffed, and she puffed until she
BLEW
out those candles!


And her party?
Nope, not this year.


Just the $$ for the cost of the party.
She is saving up for an American Girl Doll!!
Look at her just concentrate on counting 
how much $$ she is holding in her hands.


Then it's time for the traditional
scavenger hunt to find your present!
This year Dad did pictures of things
around the house to send Sydney
off to the next clue.






Ending with the garage.
On first glance, Sydney didn't see her new bike
among the billion sitting in there.


But finally she spotted it and jumped on.
She is very excited to finally have something
 on her bike that none of the previous ever have...

....A KICK STAND!!!
