B is 8!!!

We hosted our 8th Gingerbread House Decorating Party for B's birthday!!!  It's getting harder to narrow down her guest list the older she gets since she's meeting more and more people!  (:   But it all worked out! She had two friends from school (Katie and Emily), two friends from our ward (congregation) (Jonah and Morgan), two friends from the neighboring ward (Belle and Louisa), and two friends that were in our ward but are now in the other ward boundaries! (Hailey and Riley)    And a few siblings - hers and some friends!  (Aiden, Kate, and Lincoln) Full house - but lots of fun kids!

After the decorating - we had some pizza, played pin the star on the tree, and had some cake and ice cream!

 She wanted the big cupcake too - so that was easy enough!   After the party we drove through Christmas in the Park lights again . . . she got to "drive".   (: 

 She got lots of nice gifts - including these P.J.'s which she wanted to wear to school the next day since it was pajama day and  this cool piano shirt!   Thoughtful friends!  Great day!

Here are her responses to 8 interview questions:

1.  Describe yourself in 3 words:  "happy, pretty, funny"

B is a talented girl!  She learned to sew this summer and sewed some gifts for Christmas!  She is good at piano even though it isn't her favorite - she doesn't give up which is awesome.  She loves yellow, blue, green, cats, dogs, horses, bunnies, Barbies, french toast sticks, cinnamon rolls, and chicken noodle soup.   We love you B and we are glad you are in our family!!!  Happy Birthday!
