Drew turned 8 on Saturday, so we had a little family party at home for her. We had everyone over for dinner and grilled hot dogs, and then had cake and ice cream. I made the cake myself, and I was pretty proud of how it turned out. I even made my own homemade buttercream icing. Drew got lots of really nice gifts including some clothes for school, pajamas, a movie, some money, a new Webkin, and her very own ice cream maker (which I have to admit I was pretty excited about myself). We got her a new bike. Her old bike was out in the front yard close to the road, so Andy asked her to go out and move it and when she got out there, the new one was waiting for her. That picture is her genuine response
, which I thought was great. We were unable to get all of her little friends together at the same time on a weekend, so we're having 2 little girls over to go to the movies and spend the night on Tuesday. I guess that's the advantage to having a summer birthday. We seem to always have trouble working around everyone's schedule on the weekends for her birthday (the disadvantage) so we usually end up doing something during the week, and her birthday seems to drag on for several days and several events. She loves it, but I worry about her becoming more spoiled than she already is!

That picture of her with the new bike is great! That was smart to be out there with the camera. I can just imagine how excited she was!
