Sierra's first day of school - Sierra's 8th birthday TODAY!!!

Yesterday was Sierra's first day of school and she had a blast! Her teacher is Mrs. Vos. Sierra has a new friend and her name is Lilly. She's new to the school and it sounds like they hit it off. She's also in the same classroom as Alli and Morgan. Tory is in the other class. She is also not with Leighton for the first time since they were 3. I felt really bad for her, but there's nothing I can do about it. She said she didn't play much with Alli, Tory and Morgan, but it was the first day and everything is so new and exciting.

Sierra was just thrilled that it was her b-day today. She's had a rip off chain she made so she could count the days until her bday. I swear it was for the last 50 days! lol. I put all of her gifts on the fireplace and I told her she could open one present before school. It was a cabbage patch kid with a bunch of extra clothes and she loved it. I also ordered balloons to be delivered at school for her. Hopefully she's not embarrassed! I just love her so much and wanted her to have a good day today. She also brought cupcakes to share and cookies for daycare. Tonight we are going to Pizza Ranch in Glencoe and Jim, Marlys, mom and dad will all be there, too. After we eat, everyone will come to our house for cake, ice cream and opening of her presents. Woo hoo!!

I told Lincoln this morning to say "Happy Birthday" to Sierra and he did. Then, on the way to daycare, he was singing to her! He sang, "Happy Day to Si-ra" in the most sweet little voice ever. You could tell he was trying really to do a great job. Mercedes said Happy Birthday many times to Sierra, too. She was so excited! Sierra got a Carrie Underwood CD, Cabbage Patch Kid with TONS of clothes, pointe (dance) shoes, Bratz doll, Skecher shoes, and a TON of Abercrombie clothes. I can't remember what else, but those are the highlights. :0)

Have a good day.

Peace.
