Megans Birthday

My little girl turned 9! Yikes. Where does the time go?
We decided for her birthday festivities this year to invite some friends to go swimming with us and then come back to our place for a pizza dinner, games, present opening and games.
Since Megan's birthday falls during summer holidays we tried to hold it earlier this year so more of her friends could come, maybe next year we need to hold it even earlier. Two of Megan's friends were able to join us and we all had a fun time.
Here they are playing unwrap the present game. Luckily for our guests they each took home one of the prizes. Next we splashed around at the pool. They each got their own pool noodles to have some extra fun in the pool.
, After all that we come home to a pizza dinner and opened some fabulous gifts (book, necklace, littlest pet shop, gift card, body lotion/spray, clothes and finally from us an Ipod Nano). With age comes great responsibility and even greater privileges. The Nano has proven to be a life savor for us on long car trips.
Her cake selection this year was a Rolo cake. It was super yummy!
