Leah is EIGHT!!!!!

Leah turned EIGHT on Tuesday!!! I just can't believe how much life changed eight years ago.  She has brought so much happiness and drama to our life, we could not do with out her!!!! 

We had a friend party on Saturday.  She wanted a Big Top Cupcake, Oreo Balls, Carmel Apples and Chocolate Covered Pretzels.  I did just that!  It was a lot of fun to have Leah's friends over to celebrate!

We played Twister and it proved to be too easy for the girls.  So we moved on to Leah's favorite part of the party.... a scavenger hunt.  This was not easy task and it didn't last as long as I had wished.

I had ten clues to lead them to the treasure.  Every clue rhymed and they had to complete a task before being able to open the clue.  One of the "tasks" was to give Leah a group hug, I think Leah really liked it :)

The clues took them in and out of the house.  The treasure was a bunch of beads for the girls to make their own bracelets.  They had  a good time doing that.  It was fun to see how creative the girls could be.

Once finished making their bracelets they played games.  

Then presents and cake.

 

Although Leah has a friends party, it was simply not enough :)  We celebrate on her actual b-day. 

Dave and Leah got doughnuts and we all had a very healthy breakfast ;)

Later than night we went out to dinner to Firehouse, 

we won't be going there again for several reasons. 

 When we got back home Leah got to go with Abuela to get a gelato and pick out a new and fancy CTR ring.  I asked Leah to be very polite and she said "Of course mom! I am 8!" I will make sure she remembers that. 

I know she had a great day, but she is really looking forward to November 6th when she will be getting baptized. 



ps.  She LOVES her scriptures and has been taking care of them and reading them, which is the most important part.
