As time ticks and children grow, it's sometimes hard to keep up. When did all the time go? Irini turned eight on Jan. 6th and we are thankful it happened over the holiday break! It's great to focus exclusively on her and continue creating family traditions~ beautiful memories that we will always remember! She is as wonderful now (and more so) as she's ever been. She wanted the theme of her party to be "peace" (to go hand in hand with her name).
As is now customary, daddy takes care of drawing and cutting out numbers on colored paper to make a trail from Irini's bed to the living room, where she finds her presents in the morning of her birthday. She excitedly woke all of us up, we went straight to opening her presents and then had our pancake breakfast. This too includes a bit of a tradition, where the birthday girl is treated to a special pancake formed in the number of her age. Eight was a tricky one! We later finished preparing for the arrival of her friends who stayed the whole afternoon with us. They swam, had pizza for lunch, and then we moved up to our apartment where they did some beading, played, opened a piñata, had some ice cream cake and watched a movie.
When the day ended our girls were tired by happy. Mommy and daddy were tired and happy. Though time is flying and our girl is growing she carries with her years of love and support. Happy eight, Irinoula!! We love you like crazy, of course!
