My big girl was 8 a few days ago. How did that happen ? When did that happen ? She is gorgeous and grown up and clever and funny and serious and caring and flippant and just divine. She had a birthday party at our local bowling alley. There were us, my mum and dad, both my sisters, my nephew and 5 of her friends. Greg's parents came for a while and bought the girls great grandfather who will be 91 later this year. He is so gorgeous with the girls and they are very lucky to have such a special man in their lives. So are we :)
Anyway bowling was great fun. All the girls and Liam, our nephew, had a great time. Lots of noisy giggling and shouting and lots and lots of fun.
For her birthday Jess got lots of Hannah Montana and High School Musical stuff. She also got lots of books. Oh and a purple cat which was from Chloe and her favourite present. Sisters really do know these things it seems. She also got a Veronicas jacket from dear friends of ours. Well she is now the queen of cool. She can alternate it with the High School Musical Jacket from other darling friends. A girls heaven really :)
I can't believe that 8 years ago I had no idea how my love for a child would be so strong. 8 years ago I had no idea I could love my husband more than I did then. There is nothing like seeing the man you love parent your children. Nothing like seeing a tiny baby cradled in big hands. Or a little hand clinging to a daddy hand. Or the laughter that echoes while daddy's play rough. 8 years ago we were so blessed to be given a Jessica to love. You are brave, beautiful, clever and most of all you always bring sunshine to those around you. We love you gorgeous girl. xxxx
