Happy 9th Birthday! party

Do you find it as hard to believe as I do that I have a 9 year old child??! What a blessing these 9 years have been. She is growing up to be such a beautiful girl and our prayer for her is that she will strive to be a Proverbs 31 woman.

We had a discussion about boyfriends!! When is a good age! How old was I when John was my boyfriend! (too young I told her) And I told her that she is allowed to have friends that are boys, but she needs to wait awhile before she thinks about boyfriends. I mentioned that she needs to pray that God will show her the right man! I didn't go too much into details as to what she should look for, because I don't think she is ready for that! But this was supposed to be a birthday post :)

She invited all the girls in her class, but only 4 showed up, which was a nice size. |We started out with painting pots, then had cake, then opened presents, then played bowling, played on the trampoline and in the treehouse, and then came back inside for candy, watermelon and strawberries, and chips.

 

 

Because JOhn was going to be gone for McKenna's birthday, we celebrated with him first. We took the girls bowling and then stopped by the Quesnel bakery for a treat. JOhn has pics of bowling on his phone. She got to open some small presents also. She got a matching shorts and tank top and a sun dress, a fishing rod, and a lamp to match her new quilt that I making for her bed.

 

 

All decorated and ready for her party: pink, black and white theme. 

I got this idea off of pinterest. I really like how it turned out. Will I do it again anytime soon??? Probably not :)

 

 

 

 

Inside the cake: layered icecream sandwiches with caramel sauce and toffee bits in the middle!

 

bowling! 

 

Score: 14 points!

 

Painting pots: I was so busy doing mine, that I didn't get any pictures of Kenna doing hers. This girl came later so I quickly took some pictures so that I had some for her scrapbook!

 

 

the best part, a plate full of candy!
