Double su(prizes)!

We had a very nice little party for Mia down at Municipal Park. Everyone brought their favorite dish potluck style and I burnt some ribs on the grill. Grandma Linda baked an amazing doll cake that all the girls were quite impressed with.

And Jaelyn took an exceptional interest in the cake!

After a couple of water balloon games, the spoiling begins. Most of Mia's good friends were able to attend so she just loved having Amber and Cassia, Sophia and Olivia, Brenna and Annette, Jaelyn, and Connor all in the same place at the same time...Of course, when they come bearing gifts it doesn't hurt either!

Later in the evening, for the second suprise of the day, Mia FINALLY wiggled that bottom tooth loose. Connor thought we should "give her, like, 20 bucks because what are the chances of losing a tooth on your birthday.." and I gave him the usual "what, you think I'm made of money?" response. So Shanna slipped her a couple of bucks after she fell asleep and called it good. By now, she knows there is no Tooth Fairy, but she still can't figure out how we get that money in there without waking her up.
