Julia had a marathon birthday this year...
It began in the morning...
with a french toast breakfast and a gift opening afterwards.
Lots of packages were delivered from grandparents, cousins and friends. Julia had lots of "helpers" trying to open all of her gifts.
In the afternoon, we took her to get a "manicure" at Julie's Nail Salon. Happy, but somewhat envious onlookers, stood by.
When we came home, the birthday girl finished baking and decorating cupcakes to share with her Catechism class.
But it didn't end there...
The celebration continued the following day, when our good pal, Indeg, picked Julia up and had her over for a special birthday dinner. They came back here bearing Indeg's famously fattening carrot cake for dessert and more gifts to open! Thank you, Indeg. You're so good to us.
Day 3 of the birthday marathon continued as we got to eat the heart-shaped cake that the girls had prepared for their sister (on day 1).
And it's still not over...because Julia intends to have a sleepover with a few of her friends after the new baby arrives. But please, Julia, no more cake!
One special thing we will remember about Julia's 8th birthday is that her namesake, Aunt Julia Christie, passed away just one week earlier. Aunt Jul would have been the very first one to call in the morning to send her birthday wishes. She was always the first to call. We miss you so much, Aunt Jul.
Happy Birthday Julia Noel.
We love you and are so proud of you!
