Happy Birthday to my very first baby! She is the big 8 and so stoked to be there! Daddy took her to breakfast in the morning on his bike and then we spent all day cutting up trees and loading the logs on trailers to prepare for winter. She was such a good sport about having such a utilitarian Birthday. After we came home and showered the real fun began...we went to Cafe Rio for dinner, her favorite. When the hot sauce wore off we went to Coldstone and purchased a delicious cookie dough icecream cake, yum!! She also was turned loose in TJ Maxx (we live close to NOTHING, so pickins are slim) and found herself some cool artsy stuff and a couple of cute shirts. She had a happy day and seemed to love every second of being the Birthday Girl! (I must have heard "because it's my birthday" a hundred times)

Gracie, of course, had to have Madison with us :) and Connie and Steve had shredded a tire on the trailer and were occupied with that.
