Well my little (not so little) Destinee turned 8-years-old on Wednesday. It was all so strange to have her turn 8. She is my oldest and I am thinking that I myself don't feel old enough to have a daughter that is 8. That aside, I am so happy to have her in our lives and she is such a blessing to me. She is getting ready for her baptism that will be on Feb 4 and she is beyond ready. She is quite nervous but I told her that she has nothing to worry about because her daddy will be with her every step of the way. So on her birthday she went to school, and got a surprise visit from her dad (who was only off for a few hours) and took her out to lunch. It was so neat that they got to spend some quality time together just the two of them. She came home and opened presents. Not all of her presents were there though because Steve ordered something special just for her that won't be here till the end of the month. We ended the night with a dinner of her choice, my parents and brother coming over, playing a game of her choice and eating cake and ice cream. It was such a nice night. We decided that we would kind of make it a birthday weekend. So yesterday we went shopping for a new coat, some new church shoes, and then we took the kids to see Puss in Boots (which was really cute). Tonight we are going go roller skating, her choice. It has been such a fun week and I hope that she has had a fun birthday! Here are a few pictures...
What a lame cake, but what do you do. She looks so much older to me in this picture. It might be the little bit of makeup that she got for her birthday.
Singing to Dez. My mom would be mad if she sees this picture posted. Kind of funny.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DESTINEE!!!
