Kiara's 9th Birthday

I never understood the whole "time flies" saying until Kiara got into school.  Since starting Kindergarten, time has gone so fast and I cannot believe that she is 9 years old.  When we go check on her at night when she is asleep, she doesn't look like a little girl.  She looks big and beautiful and so grown up.  She is now officially 9 years old (going on 15 - yikes) and had a very fun birthday month!  Here are some of the fun things she did!

The celebrations began with and fun early surprise party for Kiara when Gram was in town!

 

Kiara took 10 friends to the "girl store" so make pillows!

 

After the party, Kiara invited two girls, Kylie and Kayla, to go to the strongsville high school girls soccer game.  We had pizza, gatorade, chocolate chip cookies, and rice krispie treats!  This was definitely a highlight for Kiara!

 

We had a fun family celebration and are so fortunate for all the love she received in the mail and through the phone :)!!

 

Happy 9th Birthday Big Girl!!
