Happy 8th Birthday Natalie!

My little baby girl turns 8 years old today! How has it already been 8 years?! That is just crazy, crazy, crazy! I couldn't find her 'birthday girl' pin from years past last night so I ended up making her one so she could wear it to school this morning. Her Aunt CoCo is checking her out of school this afternoon and they are having her a little birthday dinner and celebration at Nick's grandfather's house with some of their family. She is really excited about it. The little card with Pepper on it is the birthday card we had made for Natalie. It was something different and she loved it.

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY NATALIE!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

♥ Mommy, Jason and Pepper

We have had a pretty busy weekend. Not to mention the SNOW!!! We went to Justin and Brittany's engagement party at Innisfree Saturday night. We had so much fun! I haven't had that much fun in a while. We were actually awake at 2 a.m. when it started snowing so it was awesome to wake up Sunday to all that snow! Natalie went with her Poppi Sunday morning to pick out her birthday present. Then we met up with some of my family at Natalie's favorite restaurant, Golden Corral, for her birthday lunch. Thank you Poppi, Mimi, Dan, Matt, Zach, Karin, John, Jaxon, Alex, Kelli, Kaitlyn, Bobby, Brendan, Ashley, Uncle Butchie and Aunt Terri for coming to celebrate with us! Afterwards, Natalie got to go pick out her gift from us- a new bigger bike, riding gloves and helmet! Matt and Zach came home with us so all the kids could play in the snow.

Sunday night, we met up with some of Jason's family at Hacienda for a little birthday dinner for Natalie. She is so blessed to have so many people in her life that love and care about her. Thank you LiLi, Jennifer, James, Kyle and Zac for celebrating with us!

I've already added all of the pictures from this past weekend to the album, so take a look. By the way, Jason and Natalie finally got their t-shirts in the mail Saturday. They were originally Valentine's gifts but have since been lost, refunded and reordered. I need to post some pictures of them because they turned out really cute. Both t-shirts have a picture of Pepper on the front but Jason's says "My dog is smarter than your honor student." He is ALWAYS talking about how smart he thinks Pepper is. Natalie's shirt says "My sister has fur." They both really liked them. It was a fun surprise.
