Simple..it's GREAT to be 8!

I always start these birthday posts with "I can't believe it...just seems like yesterday when.....and/or something like that " and YES time does fly....however, I am so happy to say Mary Bradford is quickly becoming the most independent, kind hearted, helpful, smart, caring 8 year old little girl (or young lady as she likes for me to say). Brad and I are amazed daily at all she does and thank God for all he is doing through her.

Mary B. what a gift you are to your daddy and I .....We love you so much and are so glad we got to share another wonderful birthday with you.....

a little run down of how the festivities went......

Mimi and Gandy took she and Gray to a Birthday Eve dinner at the club...she came home and said " it was so cool we had our own private party room"!

then she woke up on the BIG day to her favorite from our local donut shop......



I later headed to Ben Davis for recess and she was so excited to pass these out to her friends....(I couldn't help but wonder how much longer I GET to do this before it's NOT cool??YIKES!, hopefully MANY more)




That night we celebrated with birthday dinner and she got her present from us!

Nana and Pop came in town too....so glad they got to celebrate (of course, camera battery DEAD so no pictures) and stayed next morning for Grandparents day too!


The next weekend came the party....and she designed the invitation all by herself!


she had all her friends young and old to Southern Spirit to flip, cheer, and flip some more!....Even though the party was a little later, this was one excited 8 year old about her birthday! and loved every minute of her party....WHAT FUN!!








happy happy Birthday Sweet girl! We love you bunches!!!
