Sydney turns 8- December 24, 2011

When did this little cutie...

grow into this beautiful young lady?

It seems so unfair how quickly they grow up! For her birthday, she wanted to get her ears pierced.


She was so brave. It was done so quickly. She only let out a little "ouch". I loved the fact that she chose cross shaped earrings as her first.




Isn't she just beautiful?


She had her very first sleepover birthday party. Five friends attended and four of those spent the night. Her theme was "arts and crafts". They decorated the bottoms of socks with puffy paint, painted small treasure boxes, snowflake ornaments, and decorated their own goody bags with ribbons. They made their own individual pizzas for dinner and their own doughnuts for breakfast. Oh, the invitations were printed out on paper with colored handprints around the edge and we included a paintbrush in each one.
She looks happy. I would say it was a success. :)

Oh, btw, in lieu of gifts for herself, she requested monetary donations to go towards "adopting" animals from the WWF. She chose to adopt macaws and a great white
shark. Thank you to all of her friends for helping us celebrate!!!!
