Eight Years Old

Today is Eden's birthday.

She is eight.  Crazy.

For her birthday, I let her choose a fun activity to go out and do today.  She wanted to go Deanna Rose Farmstead.  We had a lot of fun.

Bella came too...it is her birthday today as well.  Who would have thought that such great friends would share the same birthday!

The birthday girls mining for rocks.  They were both excited to get emeralds, their birth stones.

Fishing.

Leila caught a fish.

Molly's first pony ride.

Feeding baby goats.

Me and the birthday girl.

Leila loved feeding the baby goats.  Her motherly side came right out.

Wagon ride.

Wagon ride snuggles.

The horses, Jack and Jill.

Relaxing and chatting in the butterfly garden.

I may have gone a little picture happy.

Happy day.  Happy pictures.  Happy Birthday Eden.

(The other things that made Eden have an awesome birthday today...we got to eat do-it-yourself sushi and go to Activity Days for the first time.  She was SO thrilled to feel old enough to go to Activity Days with some of her best friends and have one day she can stay up a little later than usual.)
