Not a Yippee! Celebration
But for whatever reasons that go through an eight-year-old's mind on any specific Monday afternoon, today Mikayla would have preferred to walk home from the bus with her BF Sophia and spend the afternoon playing with her. Gramma was NOT on the agenda. And I got the temper-tantrum to prove it.[...]

Repeat After Me: Birthday Parties Are Fun!
I finally figured that's the only way to let you experience the day is just throw the pictures out there and let you wade through the chaos because that's pretty much how it was here.

Right On Target
