Happy 9th Birthday Faith!!

Now that we are finished celebrating Faith's 9th birthday, I'm finally getting around to writing about it!  It was a full week of fun, parties, and celebrating with family and friends.  We did so much celebrating it wore me out!  Literally!  I ended up coming down with some minor bug that just wiped me out!  But I finally think I'm starting to get better!
 
The weekend before Faith's actual birthday we had a family party! 
 
Faith was especially excited that Aunt Betsy could make it out to the party!
 
The birthday girl on her actual day!  As tradition goes, I always let the birthday child pick out what they would like me to make special for breakfast and dinner.  Once again Faith picked bubble bread for breakfast, and she chose ravioli for dinner! And apparently nine is the age in which one no longer wants to show one's teeth when smiling!
 
In the middle of all the birthday celebrations, Faith had her final cotillion of the year, which was a costume party!  Specifically, it was a superhero costume party, and so Faith had the perfect outfit in her Super girl costume!  They even let the parents go onto the dance floor to take a few pictures!  Thankfully the parents did not have to dress in costume!
 
This past Saturday we had a TaeKwonDo birthday party for Faith with her friends!  She had so much fun showing many of her friends what it's like to do TKD!  And even Olivia participated and had a blast!
 
Little Livvy working on her front kicks!
 
And what's a party without some tasty cake?!?  I think this is just such a cute picture of these two!
 
One of the gifts Faith received from her friends Ellie and Ethan was a pair of roller skates!  She was so excited to be given them as Ellie and another friend both have skates, and so now the three girls all have skates and can skate together!  It was such a thoughtful gift!!  She has been practicing constantly since Saturday!  Our driveway has turned into a roller derby rink!
 
It's really hard to believe that this girl is already nine!  People always say it goes fast, and when I think of how fast these nine years have gone, I must agree!  While some days seem long, the years sure go by fast!  I'm thankful that she is healthy, growing girl who is very confident, musical, and fun.  I'm proud of who she is and who she is becoming!  We love you so much Faith Anne!!
