We had a great time celebrating Karisa's 8th birthday last weekend with both sides of our family here with us. What a joy it has been this year watching Karisa mature in so many areas. We are especially thankful for her spiritual sensitivity and her desire to do what pleases her Lord.
This was Karisa's birthday cake. . . A Polly Pocket pool party.
Since Karisa's birthday party was actually a couple days before her birthday, we gave her the option on her real birthday evening to pick an activity for all of us to do together. . . . .like taking a walk or a bike ride, playing outside, playing a game together, etc. But. . . true to the person that Karisa is. . . she chose to have us sit together in the family room and each write a book report on a book of our choosing. No, I'm not joking. :) Daddy, Mommy, Karisa and Hannah each picked a book out of Karisa's closet and then wrote a book report which we then had to stand up and read to the others. This was what the birthday girl chose. . . . and that's just one of the reasons why we love her!!

How sweet!!! Her glasses make her look way too grown up. Your cakes are so impressive. I'll have to be sure my kids DON'T see the pictures so they don't get any ideas. :)
