Yesterday, E turned 9. It was nice that her birthday fell on a Sunday as we celebrated all weekend long. Friday evening she invited a couple of friends and we went to eat and then to a ceramic shop. The girls painted little bears with their birthstones in them. They had a terrific time. Before church on Sunday, E opened her gifts. She is such a joy as she only asked for a pogo stick, nothing else. O and I went out birthday shopping on Saturday and bought her a few things. Her favorite was a new bathrobe. Such a sweet girl. I am blessed to be her mama. On Sunday we actually had beautiful weather, so we headed out for a walk around the zoo. E enjoyed her day and had cupcakes/cake several times over the last few days.
