Rian's 8th Birthday!!!

When Rian woke up on her birthday, she had zebra striped streamers hanging in her bedroom doorway, and she enjoyed panckaes with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles topped with a candle for breakfast.

So excited to be 8!

She was so excited to open her gifts, that we let her open a few before school.  This super soft and cozy robe was from Grandma and Grandpa Thomas.

The gift she had been dreaming about- the Orbeez Luxury foot spa.

 

Opening her special gifts from Aunt Jody.

Embarrassed that underwear were part of the gift, she tried to fling them off the table, only to have them land in the blinds.  (Very cute polka-dotted undies that matched a shirt, skirt and sweater, I might add). 

 

 

At school the class sang Happy Birthday to Rian.  We brought juice boxes for the kids (the school is trying to do away with birthday treats and play games or have extra recess instead) and Rian chose the class game- Heads Up 7-Up.  (My favorite indoor recess game as a kid!). 

Everyone had fun and then it was time for mom to leave and the students to get back to business.

 

 

Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner to help celebrate.  When they arrived, Rian was relaxing and reading a book while enjoying her new foot spa. 

Rian loved her new American Girl tea party set from Grandma and Grandpa.

                                              

Jessie spent a very long time making this special card for Rian using her Barbie sketch pad. 

Willey and Diane met us at Dairy Delite for Rian's favorite treat- a vanilla cone dipped in cherry. 

 

Once we started singing, everyone in the place joined in to wish Rian a VERY Happy Birthday!
