My Baby Is Nine!

I can hardly believe it. Meghan, my first born, the one that was an only for the first 5 years of her life.... turned 9 years old today. Amazing. Next year she will be in the double digits!

She told me she wanted a mother daughter night. So we went out to eat. She chose the place, Sweet Tomatoes.

She wanted me to tell the wait staff it was her birthday. I know she wanted them to sing to her. That would embarrass me and she said it would her as well but she wanted it anyway.

Well there was no singing but our waiter brought out three balloons and a big cookie in the shape of a 9. :) That was very cute and she was happy and felt special.

We also did a little shopping. We went to a couple stores and just wandered around looking at things. We did order balloons and get a few things for her birthday party next weekend. She is having a few friends over for a couple hours, just a small party. She loves to decorate and everything though so we'll be working on that. All in all I think we had a good day! We love a little girl time alone every once in a while. :)

Happy Birthday Meghan. I love you my sweet girl!

(PS I was informed she is not a little girl twice today when I called her "little girl". She also insisted on the adult cup and not the kids cup with a lid... so it begins.)
