Now We Are Nine


Vicki recently celebrated her 9th birthday! My, the years go quickly. As you can see by the photo to the left, (taken by Ken) she was quite excited and animated during her birthday party. Her friend Maria sits next to her.
We had a Family Party (my style of party) with both sets of Grandparents and Uncle Ken and Aunt Lisa and her family. Vicki chose the menu - Blasted Chicken, Corn Bread, Salad, Fruit Salad, and Root beer Floats for dessert (she doesn't like cake!). We lit her 9 candles on top of a pile of ice cream in a cup. With Vicki, nothing is "usual"!
Vicki was thrilled to get a Baby Alive (opening present above) that drinks a special orange liquid and pees it out. Diapers are "only" $12.99 for a set of 8. Wow! Nothing like marketing! She's saving her money for diapers. I suppose it's a good lesson for the costs of having a baby!
