Lizzie's 9th birthday!!

 Liz had a birthday, shout hooray!  We were all so excited for this day, because she had been counting down for more than a month.  It started about a week early, because she wanted to take birthday donuts in to her class to celebrate, so that got the party started. 

 She wanted to know how early she could wake up on her birthday to open presents, and 7:30 am couldn't come fast enough, especially since she'd been up since 5:30!  She got a set of cute luggage, so she can travel the world (or at least Grandma's this summer). 

 She also got a BB gun that is pink too!!  We had gone camping the weekend before and found that she was a sharp shooter and could hit targets far away.  We'll be careful so she doesn't shoot her eye out. 

 She had a great birthday!  She got to choose her favorite breakfast: crepes with strawberries and whipped cream.  She got to go shopping with birthday money which she got an American Girl doll.  (Who knew she liked dolls?  But she's been all about making doll clothes and doing her hair since.)

The girls also had a pretty successful lemonade stand that day.  Later to cool off she took a couple friends and we went to Basha Pool where they have water slides, a lazy river, and a whirlpool.  It was a super fun filled day!!
