Our Leah turned 8 yesterday! She is growing up so very quickly. So to celebrate she and I went to a matinee showing of
Arizona Broadway Theater's Annie Get Your Gun. It was so much fun, I had borrowed the movie from the library a couple of weeks ago in preparation of this event so we already knew the music and the story. It was dinner theater so we got to eat fancy food and be fancy girls at the fancy theater. On the way there we stopped at Walmart (cuz we're fancy) and got Leah a new birthday outfit. She kept turning towards me and whispering, "I like my new outfit!" every once in a while during the show.
That picture shows it, I did take pictures of our theater experience but I seem to have misplaced my camera (argh) and I feel sick about the lost pictures of our adventure more than anything else. Anyways, onwards and upwards, so after the wonderful show we came home to get ready real quick for the pizza party which happened about 15 minutes after we got back!
Almost all of her cousins were there and aunts and uncles and so on and so forth. She asked if she could have a friend come over for the party but I am just not ready for that yet, I told her next year, for sure next year (argh).
It was a wild and crazy party, I'll tell you that much. But we had fun times and she had a great and hopefully memorable day.
What's up with the turtle cake, you ask? Well, she asked for a watermelon cake with ladybugs so the middle part is a watermelon (work with me here people) and there are pink ladybugs around it (I ran out of pink frosting and so there are two green leaves? peeled kiwis? Who knows, I ran out of time. But there had to be 8 of them because, well, you should know why by now!
