If your age increased everytime you celebrated your birthday...

My 8 year old would be 30 by now.

Seriously. I blame my lack of updates on all of the birthday parties we've done recently.

First was the party with Robert's family. His sister and brother live in the northern part of the province while his parents and we live in the south. Since Robert's niece also has a March birthday, we thought we'd all meet in the centre of the province. Birthday number 1

Next came the actual birthday which we celebrated with my family. Cassidy recieved lots of Star Wars goodies - her current passion. Was this good enough? No. We had promised her that we would drive to the mountains and go out for dinner. An afternoon in the mountains is another one of her favorite things to do (and mine too!) Due to a storm and crummy roads we had to postpone.

Next was the party with her friends from school. Whose bright idea was it to take a bunch of second graders to the pool? Oh yeah...mine.

Finally, the weekend after, we made it to the mountains. 4 weekends worth of birthday celebrations. At dinner we toasted to the completion of another birthday season.

We also thought it'd be a good time to get a family photo done. I can't believe my little girl is 30!! Um...I mean 8! :-)
