Maria Turns 8!

We celebrated Maria’s birthday THREE times this year! The birthday that never ends…

First we had a family party while we were back in the States for Christmas. The Harry Potter themed party was a lot of fun! Thanks Nana and Poppy for letting us party in your house!

Back in Canada, we celebrated hibachi-style. The show was fun and the food was delicious! Then a home-made cake made by the birthday girl (and decorated by Mom).

Finally, Maria chose a paint-your-own-pottery place to round out the celebration. We had a great time painting, and then went home for presents and some left-over cake and a final round of candles and singing.

It was definitely a never-ending celebration for a super sweet girl who brings so much joy to our world. We love you MORE, Maria!
