Grandparents Day and Jr. Cheer Clinic

Friday was a fun filled day for the girls. It was Grandparents Day for Natalie and both girls were performing in the half time show with the Jr. Cheerleaders. It was a fun day!

Both girls in the morning before school. Julia ready for the cheerleading and Natalie all dressed up for Grandparents Day.

Julia also lost her third tooth! So exciting!

Natalie's Grandparents Day performance. You can't really see her at all in the first video, but I move to a spot to see her better in the others.

This one starts at the 1 1/2 minute mark.

And here are Mi Mi and Uncle Jared back in her room hanging out!

  

And that night the girls performed at the football game.

I was trying to get a photo of Julia before the game and it was going well until she found a microscopic scratch on her finger....after that, forget it. I thought this photo was too sweet though.

The girls with school friends.

My girls.

And it was time to perform!

And here is the video of the performance.

The marching band does a really cool glow performance around Halloween. Here is a little bit of that!

Happy 8th Birthday Natalie!

Good morning to this sweet EIGHT year old!! She is so very excited for the day!

First up, opening gifts!

I love Julia's face here...she knows Natalie is opening up a Barbie with a pooping dog...

And the bow and arrow set she REALLY wanted.

Time to eat a little something...chocolate waffles with homemade whipped cream!

Natalie had her birthday at the Humane Society. We did a dog and cat theme and it turned out adorable! She asked her friends to bring her a book if they wanted to bring a gift and a donation to the Humane Society if the could!

Some friends have started arriving...

First up, making a cat toy.

Second, painting with the puppies. This was a huge hit!

This is our puppy, Chuck. He was adorable.

Voting on paint colors.

Getting Chuck ready!

Ready, set, go!

Chuck got a little spoiled when he was with us!

I love his colorful paws!

Waiting for our second surprise guests!

Yea! Kitties!!

Taking a little tour of the Humane Society. The kids had a Bingo card and had to look for items.

Time to decorate some cupcakes!

Make a wish sweet Natalie.

I am not sure Natalie asked for help...

And time to check out all the new books!

And lastly, time to deliver the cat toys.

Natalie and Jenny.

What a wonderful day!! Happy birthday Natalie!
