Julia's 8th Birthday

Eight years old already.  Talk about a growing up fast. On Saturday we celebrated Julia's birthday with family. In the morning she and Jonathan had a small tea party at Grandpa and Grandma's house.  Afterwards, Aunt Michelle treated Julia to her first manicure and pedicure at the salon. Jules chose purple nails with flower designs - it's visible in some of these pictures.

In the afternoon all of the family in town came over to open family presents. Julia made out with a lot of American Girl/Our Generation things, a new, bigger bike, and chocolate cupcakes.  Some of these pictures turned out amazing...so cute/sweet and showing her without the front tooth (her first) she lost the night before.  We're very blessed to have such an amazingly wonderful girl as our daughter.  We love you Jules and are so thankful for you.
