Callista is ~8~ !!!!

So, I don't have any pictures to post yet, because Chris took them all on the camcorder, so I will try to get some video on here soon- but she had a great birthday! To start with, she got her ears pierced, since this was the magic 8th birthday-keeping in tradition with my family.... She did not even flinch- she is so brave! We also went to school, where she did knock knock jokes in her talent show at school- very adorable! Then we did popsicles at school, and then she came home and took Grandma Jan to her gymnastics class.... this was her last week in her regular class- next week she will start her team! They had a great time watching her, and then we all had dinner and lots of presents. She loved them all, especially her Ipod and I-dog (the fuzzy one)... she also got a tetherball for the backyard that she LOVES, and a slip n slide, cute clothes, lots of earrings, and very cute books and stickers... To Marmee, GG, and Alyx- she really loved her purple fuzzy pencil and stickers- and everything else...

I was pretty excited that for dessert, she did not want a traditonal cake, but picked out black forest parfaits instead- yummy!!! it was really good- the only problem is that today is her last day of school and was going to be her movie/slumber party, but she ended up with the flu!!!
Teagyn had it yesterday and feels better now, but we had to cancel and hopefully we will redo the party next week- so, she sends her love and thanks to everyone and really had a good birthday for the most part- we will make up the party soon for her- it's a bummer to be sick, huh?

Thanks again, everyone- love you!
