May 17th is Savanna's Birthday

Savanna is 9! She had a birthday Weekend celebration. We started the festivities with a friend party on Saturday, we had pizza, decorated cupcakes, took turns riding the 4-wheeler, painted faces, and watched Alvin the Squeakual. There was some girlie drama, a 4-wheeler ramming into the fence, and a few friends leaving early because they had "already seen the Squeakual a hundred times," but otherwise Savanna had a fun time. (I made a promise to myself to never have a friend party again, but that may have been a rash promise.) Monday, her acutal birthday, turned out wonderfully. Jared and I took Savanna, Wes, and Fi to IHOP for a birthday breakfast. We gave her a present, and they sang happy birthday to her and gave her an ice cream sundae at 8:00 in the morning. She took treats to school, and for dinner the Barretts joined us, and brought her loads of presents! Karli even bought her a Happy Birthday banner from the dollar store and taped it on the wall. Savanna drank in the attention and love, she got lots of clothes and art supplies and a snow-cone maker so she can start her business this summer. :) Thanks family for making her feel so special on her birthday. We love you Savanna! You are a creative, fun, helpful, smart, and entertaining girl and we are so grateful you are in our family.
















Today is crazy hair day for Savanna's class, so we snapped a picture of her crazy hair. She did it all by herself with some glitter hair spray she got for her birthday. This isn't even the finished product, she kept ratting it and spraying it for another hour so it was REALLY crazy when she left. Also, here is Fiora with a butterfly on her face.
