Time has flown by! It doesn't seem possible, but somehow my little Chloebug is 9! I can still vividly remember the day she was born, the first time I held her, and the first time I kissed her little nose.
There have been countless hugs, kisses, tears, giggles, and moments that I will always treasure. It has been amazing to see her personality develop. I'm sure that there will be many frustrating moments as she nears the teen age years, but for now I will treasure the times she asks to snuggle with me or to read a book with her.
Chloe's birthday is on a school day this year so we decided to have the slumber party before her actual birthday. (BTW this can cause confusion for little girls LOL) Hannah spent the night with one of her favorite people in the world, and Jeff locked himself in his office all night. So all the party stuff was left for me to handle... everyone who really knows me should know that it wasn't an issue... I LOVE planning events and parties!
With everyone else taken care of it was time to party!!! After gorging themselves on pizza, wings, and lemonade the girls decided that it was time to dance! I tried to video the girls dancing, but I was laughing too hard to get a good video of them grooving to the music. Watching 8 little girls dance to "U Can't Touch This", "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", " Groove Is in the Heart", and " Hot N Cold" was just too cute for words!
*Side note for those that have never played Just Dance on the Wii, I highly recommend it! It is a fun game that gets your butt up off of the couch and you don't even notice that you are working out. After five or six dances you will probably feel it, but you will be laughing the whole way through!
All in all things went really well, and Chloe has enjoyed 3 days of birthday festivities. Not too shabby for keeping things on a budget either! :)
My prayer for Chloe:
I pray that you will continue to have a heart for others, and that the world will not cause your heart to be hardened.
I pray that you will continue to grow in beauty, both outward and inward.
I pray that you will find the inner strength of who you are and can stand firm in your beliefs.
I pray that you will always search for the truth and give it in kind to others.
I pray that you will have amazing dreams and the courage to achieve them.
Happy 9th Birthday Chloebug!
You are loved beyond measure!!!
