It is GREAT to be EIGHT!

I just can't believe that my Dooberry turned 8 years old!  She is the most fun, spunkiest, firecracker of a girl!  We are so lucky to have her in our family!  This year Em really wanted a wizard birthday party!  Her actual Birthday fell on a Sunday so we had her 'friend' Bday party on the Saturday before.  Since I was all crazy with the actual party I didn't get too many pics of the going's on...but a good time was had by ALL!

Opening presents is always a fun part of the party!

It was also the first time I had to breathe...

and reach for my camera!!!

THAT is a 'Witch Hat' Ice cream cone & Brownie treat

Yeah...I rock.

This is what was left of our 'Potions' class...

Our Family party was a bit more low key, LOL!!

Em also decided that she didn't want a cake,

she wanted MORE brownies!

She loves to read, and the

Diary of a Wimpy Kid books were on her list this year.

My Emily and her haul!  Pretty impressive!

It may be great to be eight but it is ever GREATER to

have Emily in our Family!!!
