Marissa's second party

She sort of had a different birthday. I did make pancakes with her Wednesday morning, and we had ice cream (thanks to Kevin for picking it up). Other than that, it was a normal day and we didn't actually celebrate that night - violin lessons and Scouts were scheduled. I did call Grandma and Grandpa Nichols and set it up for Thursday night instead. So they came over and we celebrated.

Here are pancakes birthday morning!

Due to the short notice, Gpa and Gma ended up buying a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.

It was yummy!

Emily made her a present - a folder system for sorting her money:

tithing, savings, spending, and mission.
I thought it was a cute idea.

Marissa said she wasn't going to put much into the spending folder.

Gpa and Gma gave her a doodle pad of paper and colored pencils!

Harmonie was getting hungry.

Domonique thought it was a good idea, too.

Gpa and Gma also gave her some flowers because she said she wanted a flower garden!

What fun!

We also gave her a remote controlled car that Pepere had gotten from someone and passed on to us. Marissa was the only kid who didn't have one so she now has one!

What a party!
