Diana's 9th Birthday

 What a fun birthday little Miss Diana Mary had!

We usually do a big party at our home.  It is exhausting but always worth it.  I knew Diana was getting older when she asked to do something different this year. She wanted to take her closest friends to Canobie Lake Park.  It is a huge amusement park in the next town over and we try to get there once a year.

On Thursday, her actually birthday, we met the Batsons at Mary Ann's for breakfast.  We decided to make this an annual tradition (Lea's idea).

She and Sam spoiled her with a crown and boa- so fitting for our little diva!

Little Miss Thing started her day with a big 'ole Oreo Shake- how could I say no on her birthday?

After that, Diana played at home while I worked until cheer practice.  That night, we headed to cheer practice and her team sang to her- she was in her glory- I caught a little snippet

On Friday night, we decided to meet at our home first for pizza and cake.  The parents dropped the kids off and we kicked off the celebration.  

Then I was lucky enough to have two of my besties help us for the night.  (Thank God because I don't know how we would've done it without them) 

10 girls+ 1 Pidge+Amusement Park= Lots of work!

Seriously, though, the girls were so well-behaved and I think they had an absolute ball!

Then it was time for lots of rides and fun

We headed out of the park around 9:30 so we had time to bring each girl home.  The time flew by and Diana had was happy so mission accomplished! 

Lastly, I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to my blogger friends in Texas.  I hope everyone is staying safe.  I hope this storm passes quickly.  It has already been three days.  Praying for you all.
