Kiara's 8th Birthday

Kiara's birthday was on a Sunday and it was going to be a very busy Sunday so Tom and I decided to have a surprise family party for her on Friday night.   Tom took her to soccer practice and Mckenna and I (and Ava) decorated the house.

 

 

Tom ran in from the car to join us and when she walked in the house we yelled "SURPRISE!!" 

 

She was surprised and very happy!

This party happened after 8, so Ava was in bed.

 

Present time!

This was an exciting one for Kiara and Daddy.

 

Her reactions were awesome.  She was so excited about everything, it took me back to her opening her stocking presents when she was 2 years old and screaming every time she saw what she got!

 

My big 8 year old.  It is difficult for me to lift her and she doesn't want me to hold her hand in public but she is still my baby and I tell her that as often as I can sneak it into the conversation.

 



For Kiara's birthday party we decided to invite 2 of her closest friends to go to Swings-N-Things and play.  We left Ava with the babysitters and headed out to play putt putt, ride in go-carts, do the bumper boats, and play in the arcade.

Mckenna had to ride with someone and these two had a lot of fun together

 

Happy 8th Birthday Kiara Clare!
