Birthday Celebrations

In the Knowles family, we really know how to spread out a birthday! Talbie already celebrated with my parents on Saturday when they took her out to lunch and to "Color Me Mine". Sunday was exciting for her because she had her interview with the Bishop to graduate from Primary and she gave her favorite scripture as they presented her in Sacrament meeting and gave her her Primary Certificate.

Monday night, for FHE - AND Talbie's birthday we went to the Food Court in the mall and then that little fun center they have there that has games you can play. It was actually a really fun place because on Monday nights you really get your monies worth - and we even got decent prizes with the thousands of tickets we earned.

I love the Food Court because everyone gets what they like and there's no complaining!

Emmie LOVES Bronson and he's such a good sport. You'll rarely see a picture where she not draped all over him - or at least holding his hand.

Maddie actually went to 3 places but who's counting?

Then we were off to the "Fun Center". They have a neat system there and they just put the tokens you would buy - on a card and you swipe it at the games you want to play and it also keeps track of your tickets it too!

Yesterday was the official birthday. Dave and I took Talbie out to lunch and she picked "Red Robin" to eat at. She opened the presents that we gave her...

"American Girl - Hopes and Dream" perfume

And...An official script from the musical "Wicked" signed by Kristen Chenoweth! OK - I don't know how "official" it really is because I found it on ebay for only $20! Talbie has been in love with this musical for a long time now. I was trying to think back to when it all started but I know it's been well over a year that she's had this love for it because it was the theme to her birthday last year (click here)
Then, last night the cute family that lives next door to us - the Myers - came over and gave Talbie this beautiful bouquet of balloons and a card and treat. It was SO SWEET! We love this family and Talbie tends for them a lot so we feel like they are part of the family. Thank you Melissa! You're so thoughtful!!!
We've had a fun couple of days but it's just beginning! Talbie is having a birthday party with her new Beehive class on Friday because Talbie and her friend that lives 2 doors down (and has her exact same birthday :) are new and they are welcoming them in!

Saturday is her friend party - and then Sunday we're having the extended family over for cake and ice cream. Then her birthday will officially end!
