Happy 9th birthday to our Ameliya!
We started the birthday morning with a pre-breakfast gift.
Mia requested coffee cake and bacon for breakfast and we sang before Daddy headed to work.
A Calico Critter accessory...
And that sweet excited face over receiving the Bible she had been wanting.
Mike went to work for the morning and the older children did school. I gave Mia the day off mostly which meant her school buddy, Zayden, also had a very light day.
A card from Grandma and Papa...
She counted her dollars twice and thought Grandma had made an error as she only found 8, but found the missing one had slipped onto the floor. Grandma never misses!
A bean bag shell to fill with stuffies....mom and Mia's compromise to the stuffed animal situation.
Zayden built Mia and Lego birthday cake. I love their friendship.
We had Mia's large meal at noon - she asked for pork burgers and macaroni and cheese - and ate when Dad came home from work.
American Girl books to fill in some sets.
After lunch Daddy, Mia, and Mommy slipped out to go get Mia's ears pierced! Mia has wanted to do this for a long time, and she was so excited. She picked her earrings out, but once she got in the chair her nerves set in. She didn't flinch through the process but did get pretty pale.
Afterwards she got up to look at them in the mirror, turned to go, and Mike saw her waver - poor thing pretty well passed out after it was all said and done.
The clinician was so good and kind - she had Mike sit her down and gave her water and fruit snacks to recover and then Mia was excited again about her pretty new earrings.
Back home the kids played outside for a couple of hours. Aunt Kea, Isa, and AJ Facetimed to say happy birthday.
Since Mia's birthday was on a Wednesday it was a church night. We had an early supper of chicken tenders and fries and then the ice cream cake that Mia and I developed together.
peanut butter cookie crust, reese's cups, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge and oreo crumbs, ice cream, mini reese's tower...
Mia drew the cake out and we worked on it Tuesday together.
Mia took snacks along to Awana to share with her small group and had a good time with her friends at church. Happy birthdays and many more, our Ameliya. We love you so much.
