I can't believe it, our Allie celebrated her 9th birthday last Saturday! We kicked it off with a weekend of celebration with a party for all of the girls in her class after school on Friday. Since the kids get out of school at noon and we are a 3 minute walk away it was super easy! The girls made their own pizzas, did some painting and had cupcakes. I was really nervous about hosting a party for 10 girls (9 of which don't speak English!!) when my German is still so subpar, but these girls were all SO sweet and Allie was amazing at helping me understand them.
I really had nothing to worry about though, I just needed to set everything up and get out of the way...9 year old girls have it figured out! ha!
It rained all day on Saturday, so after some chocolate chip pancakes and present opening we checked out a local indoor pool and it did not disappoint! We had a blast!
The birthday girl requested steak for dinner and after a HUGE dinner fail on my part (seriously it was awful, I felt so bad!!) we had our friends over for cake and ice cream.
Sunday morning the sun came back and she was able to get outside and play with her new roller blades from my parents!
We totally lucked out and a movie theatre was showing Beauty and the Beast Sunday night in English so we wrapped up our fun weekend checking that out in 3D...
We loved celebrating our girl all weekend...we're so proud of her. It hasn't been the easiest year for her and there have been a lot of growing pains, but we are so proud of her and so proud to be her parents.
