Celebrating Savannah's 8th!!

I cannot even wrap my mind around the thought that my sweet Savannah is 8! It seems like just yesterday we were checking into the hospital, scared to death, anxiously awaiting our baby girl's arrival. And now? Here we are and our first born is turning EIGHT! Where does time go?

Savannah has grown so much this year. She has become a young lady that loves to read and is a very critical thinker. She is also great with math and honestly can sometimes do mental math quicker than I can. Savannah is such an over achiever when it comes to school. She sets high goals for herself and works hard to achieve them. She loves her brother and doesn't mind playing with him (really teaching him in her play school). She is a bit of a home body and loves spending time with just our family. Still into crafts, games, and girls days out, there is never a dull moment with our Gracie Bell!

For her party this year she begged for a sleep over.  So we carefully chose some of her closest girl friends and had them over Friday night (Friday the 13th) for a party.  They played hard outside, enjoyed pizza and lemonade for dinner, ate lots of junk food, decorated and ate cupcakes, watched a movie, and then giggled for quite a while before I finally called lights out.  It was such a special time and a super fun party!

Her official birthday, June 15!

One of the things I love about Savannah is that she is super creative.  We couldn't find the 8 candle we had at her party so she recommended we use a 7 and 1, not because she was 17 or 71, rather because they add to 8!

Happy, Happy Birthday Savannah!!  We love you to the moon and back!
