Kimmie's Birthday Celebration

I'm very behind on my stories. It's already August and I haven't even written about Kimmie's birthday celebration.

Since Kimmie's sister was going to be gone to camp on Kimmie's birthday, we celebrated early. We told Kimmie when we were going to celebrate her birthday about a week before and boy was she ready.

Not normally a morning person, Kimmie was up at 6:20 am. We weren't celebrating until evening, so she had a long day of waiting. Fortunately she was pretty good about it. She signed repeatedly "Grandma Grandpa over." I reminded her that they weren't coming over until evening. She was amazingly patient.

It did start to get the best of her when she could see the presents, but she had to wait for us to all finish our cake and ice cream. We all knew that she'd been waiting a long time, so we gulped down the cake and ice cream to get to the important part -- presents.

She was very excited. One of her new loves, this summer, is Teen Titans. One present was Season One of Teen Titans. She has been carrying it around and sleeping with it ever since. (Well, when she can convince Daddy that she needs to take it to bed with her.) She doesn't ask to watch it very often, but she keeps the movie box close by. Sometimes she cries in the night and we have to find it for her.

She is enjoying her new books and toys.

It won't be long before she starts talking about Christmas.
