Josie gets her ears pierced.

I kind of tricked Josie....She had been saying she wanted her ears pierced for her birthday....however, I knew she would be anxious about it if she knew we were on our way. I told her and Lauren to meet Olivia and I at the mall to get something to eat. Instead of going to the food court we headed for Claire's. She then knew what was up....at least she didn't have to think about it all day. You sure can see the fear in her eyes. Of all my kids....shots petrify her. She has just plain old said "NO" before!

Nine is Fine!

Josie turned Nine on December 18th! One week before Christmas! (Every year :) Pictures from her Birthday Party!

Pizza and BINGO!

We had lots of fun and "funny" prizes!

Her Invitation

We played a game where you get to dig through the trash (newspaper) to find a wrapped gift and unwrap it befor the girl ahead of you rolls a # (we chose a 4 and a 5 to make NINE). As soon as she gets the chosen number your time is up even if you have the gift almost unwrapped.
You keep on going around the circle until everyone has so many gifts (we had 3 each) If you already have your three you can help your neighbor.....anyway for some reason they think it is fun?! We did this for a ADG party as well.....they scream and laugh.....

Josie's friends were so much fun! It was an easy, laid back, fun party! Good choice Jos!

Josie got her ears pierced for her 9th birthday! Our house rule is nine......we have reasons......
I will post some of those pictures also!
Happy, Happy, ninth year Josie!
You are so much fun in our family.
You fit in right where you are just perfect.
Thank-you for being such a great Sister!
I am so glad you are my little girl! We love you!
