It is official we have an eight year old. Took some cookies to the arena today because she is not to old to enjoy sharing her birthday with friends. Her party is Saturday. A princessy thing with nail polish, crafts and treasure hunts. I will post photos after the event. Fingers crossed that it goes well. Tonight was a family dinner after skating with cake and gifts. I think that Katrine was pretty impressed that having a new sister meant an extra gift. Elspeth though was a bit confused as to why there were only gifts for Katrine (is that a meltdown I see coming on Saturday? ).
Her favourite gifts? Her Angry B*rds t-shirt and super fluffy new pillows. Yes, she actually asked for new pillows. You see, Glenn gave me new pillows for my birthday and for the last four months she has been suffering from pillow envy. Well, no longer. Tonight she went to sleep with a huge, satisfied sigh. Love it when gifts are simple, practical and won’t clog up the house.
My favourite part of the day? The hugs. Apparently, Katrine still holds firm to the belief that on one’s birthday they must pass on copious amounts of hugs to their mother and who am I to dissuade her.
