Hey Everybody, Laura's Nine!

The excitement has been non-stop around here, now that it's birthday and Christmas season. Laura started her official birthday celebration on Sunday night, when we went to Pizza Pub for our family dinner.

On her actual birthday, we did the whole birthday ritual: pile of presents at the breakfast table, followed by carmel rolls.

Matt and I brought Burger King to school and ate lunch with the birthday girl (another birthday request). Right after school, I picked up Laura and two of her friends, and we headed to Perkins (not our best nutrition day, that's for sure...). After our early Perkins dinner, we went to see the movie "Tangled."

It's a little odd to have a birthday party on a Monday, I know, but Laura was adamant that she celebrate on her actual birthday. Except for the going to school part, I'd say it was a dream day for our young lady (I certainly can't call her a little girl anymore!). Happy Birthday Laura! You are a fabulous 9-year-old!
