Birthday number 8 is a big deal! This little girl is truly moving to the middle ages of being a kid! How do I just keep her 8 the rest of her life?
Deciding on just the right birthday party, was probably one of the more difficult decisions Aubrie has ever made. Finally, we found a good fit, we agreed on a craft party where the girls made their own gum ball machines.
Each one turned out adorable, and so unique and fun!
Most of these girls have been coming to Aubrie's party since she was three! These girls have logged a lot of party hours together!
They have had impromptu screaming contests, dance parties, serious giggling fests ... and this time a paper throwing parade!
One thing Aubrie has never had at her party; however, is extended family. Lucky girl had her wonderful Aunt Lauren and Grandma T. here to help celebrate this year!
Of course there is always a cake, always made by mom. This one was so simple and fun that Aubrie actually did most of the decorating! Another first!
Lunch at the American Girl Doll store, and amusement rides at Mall of America top off the perfect birthday celebration!
8 things about Aubrie:
1. Aubrie is a perfectionist in every aspect of her life except keeping her room clean!
2. She is a deep thinker and easily understands people and social situations
3. Aubrie loves to be the center of attention
4. She is brilliant
5. She is an impeccable speller.
6. Aubrie loves words. She loves to make list after list of baby names, hard words that she knows how to spell, cast lists for her pretend shows, detailed bios of her American Girl dolls, Christmas or Birthday wish lists ... I find papers all over the house of her creations.
7. Loves any and every extra-curricular activity and usually succeeds at them because of her work ethic, brains, and coordination
8. She loves home-cooked, hot food. She will eat just about any dinner I make and will even eat thirds of it but refuses cold sandwiches, packaged food, or just about anything you could think of to put into a lunchbox.
If only I could be more like Aubrie! (;
