A peachy pic

.
Yesterday was Peach's 8th birthday. It was quite hectic, from Mass in the morning to birthday cake after dinner, with so many activities in between I could hardly catch my breath. I wish it had been more calm, with time to relish each birthday moment. Alas, it was not to be.

I think she had a good day, however. She got ashes for the first time (so excited!), had a special birthday breakfast at Panera, went for a quick shopping spree at Target where I grabbed some last minute room makeover items, passed out candy treats at her gymnastics class (a home school class -- and the children were so appreciative; birthday treats are not something they get everyday like they do at school), had her Mimi (my mom) over for cheese pizza and cake, and squealed with delight at her room makeover reveal. I have several photos on my camera, but no time to upload today.

Doug, however, took a picture with his phone, of me, Peach and my mom, after we enjoyed her birthday cake.
