Nina is officially 8!

This is Nina's year for a family party, but boy has this girl been enjoying lots of celebrating! We celebrated with family and friends in Kauai, but that was several weeks ago so we geared up for the big day again. Zig's Mom wanted to take Nina to the American Girl Doll store and she was like a kid in a candy shop. Oh that place was mayhem, but so fun to see all the excited girls with their new dolls. Nina got Kanani's ears pierced and found her some luggage, outfits, and bathing suits. Babcia loves dolls so she and Nina definitely share this in common! For a minute, I thought she might come our with her own American Girl Doll!

Last night we went to dinner and Nina brought one of her best little buddies, Kate, with her. She had both lemonade and dessert along with her meal, so that was a good night for Nina! Wednesday morning, Nina finally really and truly turned 8, so we took her to Hillcrest Bakery for a healthy breakfast in which she chowed on a chocolate eclair. I didn't want to be a joykill, but I reminded the kids that this endulgence was the last stop on the sugar train that has been full speed ahead this holiday season!


Happy Birthday to me!

Looks like I'm getting a nice ole' fishy kiss. There is no end toRollin's silliness! Nina and Zig's Mom Nina and Kate

We love our Nina had so much fun celebrating the little fireball that she is!

And now I can  relax with this busy birthday and holiday season pretty much wrapped up. Today I've been cleaning out and throwing stuff away like crazy today. It feels SO, SO good! Better than retail therapy, actually.
