Happy 9th Birthday, Michaela!

Nine years ago today my little girl was born. She was born at 6:03 pm on a Thursday evening via emergency c-section. She was a month early and weighed only 4 lbs when we brought her home. She was such a little peanut.

I cannot believe she's 9 years old already. This week she finishes her last week in 3rd grade. She's just growing up too fast.

Michaela got to open her presents this evening. She got the Polly Pocket Jumbo Jet, two Polly Pocket Stackable Studios, two Barbie movies and an outfit. All of it I bought at Christmas time for unbelievable prices except the outfit. I bought it yesterday at Wal-mart and it was not expensive either. I think in all I spent what the Jumbo Jet would have cost by itself if I hadn't found it at such a bargain price. She loved it all.

Then, we went to CEC for supper. The kids had a blast as usual. We came home with another 433 tickets. They should be about ready to cash their tickets in. I think we'll do that sometime this summer.

After we got home Michael's parents came over to give Michaela her present from them. They got her Playground for the Wii. She and Caleb love that game. They showed off their skills for Grammy and Papa after we all ate cake. I think Michaela really enjoyed her birthday.
