Laurel turns 9

My sweet little Laurel Lou turned 9!  Laurel wanted us to have a family party for her and then she wanted to invite her best friends Ava and Lily to the roller skating rink.  I made her a special dinner and for the life of me I can't remember what it was!  It was special though :) 
I had taken Sawyer to his room to put him down for a nap.  I heard dishes clanking and was so hoping everything was under control.  When I came out, Savannah and Laurel had set the table for Laurel's birthday dinner.  I thought it was the cutest thing ever.

She picked out an oreo icecream cake and a musical candle.  I think Landon is actually the one who blew out the candle! 
I let her pick out her own gift and I was so surprised when she said she wanted this baby alive doll.  You see, this doll pees and poops!  You mix up this nasty mixture, which is probably pretty close to the nasty baby food I feed Sawyer, and the doll is suppose to poop.  I said, "Laurel, don't you think we have enough peeing and pooping going on in our house already!?"  She wanted it!

She really is such a mothering little girl.  She is such a good sister and helper with her brothers and sister.  She loves getting Sawyer out of his crib.  She will change his diaper, bring him to the kitchen, put him in the chair and open a jar of food and start feeding him.
We love her so much!
