Eden turns 9!!

Our Eden is 9!!!  She decided for her birthday that she just wanted three of her friends to spend the night.  She also decided that I should make the birthday cupcakes.  I guess she hasn't caught on that the reason I always order her cakes is because I have zero talent in the kitchen :).  Oh well...they didn't turn out too bad.  She originally wanted just her and I to go to Chicago to AG but when I told her the whole family would have to come she changed her mind and opted for the sleepover. The girls at her sleepover were crazy!!!  I think they might have been worse than 11 year old boys.  They exhausted me but all had a ton of fun and there was ZERO drama!  They all got along great!   Eden is a delightful child.  She is equal parts sassy, sweet, smart and funny.  She participated in swimming over the summer and is now in a hip hop dance class.  She is constantly changing her mind about what activity she wants to take part in.  She is still taking piano lessons and probably has the most promise of any of the kids because she is a perfectionist.  We can only hope.  We always celebrate her birthday with the grandparents on halloween.  October is her most favorite month.  She LOVES halloween and her birthday!!!  Oh...her current obsessions are Doctor Who (I did order that cake) and The Wizard of Oz.  We saw the play that one of the high schools put on last spring and she has been obsessed ever since!  She was Dorothy for halloween.  She also still really loves AG and got Rebecca for her b-day.
