Bree Turns Eight

Today we celebrate our Bree turning EIGHT!

Around our house, birthdays come with a few traditions.

First things first...

If it's YOUR birthday, you get whatever you want for breakfast.

Birthday girl's choice.

Then Bree was sweet enough to give me a few minutes before school to snap some birthday pictures.

Because apparently even on your birthday, when your mom loves photography, you're not getting out the door without a picture or two.


While Bree was at school, Mr. B.T.C. showed up during lunch with balloons and pizza.

And because delivering lunch apparently wasn't enough, Daddy even headed out to recess afterward.

We finished the day with another favorite tradition—a dinner date with Mom and Dad at the restaurant of the birthday girl's choice.

Bree chose The Cheesecake Factory.

And because her sister also happens to be her best bud, Britley came along too.

Of course.

Then it was time for her birthday present.

Anyone who knows Bree probably won't be surprised that she requested a trip to Build-A-Bear.

Meet Roxee...

The newest stuffed animal to join the MANY already living in our home.

At eight years old, our birthday girl loves...

Anything with sugar on top.

CATS.

Her bike.

Her American Girl doll, Lacey.

Her school teacher.

Church.

Cheese pizza and Daddy's oatmeal.

Her family—especially her sister.

FooPets.

Reading.

"Cute" clothes. (Her words.)

Shoes.

Computer games.

Jazz class.

And her school friends.

Eight years of this sweet girl.

Eight years of that smile.

Eight years of watching her become more and more herself.

Happy 8th Birthday! 

We Love you Bree!

JUST ME AND THE GIRLS

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

CALI TRIP

Craig Family Vacation Fall 2014 from Lorri Craig on Vimeo . The kids wanted to head to Cali over Fall Break. I had a few other ideas in mind, but the boys had their hearts set on taking their dirt bikes along and trying out some of the tracks in Southern California.  It turned out to be a good idea because they seriously had the time of their lives. Like Father, Like Son... There is nothing like family trips! We bond, laugh and create memories.  We sure did miss our oldest son Nathan.  He put it best when in a recent letter when he said,  "Well right about now you are probably on vacation. It's a bummer we're not all together, but that's alright! I'm over here bringing souls unto Christ, so I win!"   You can read more about his adventures HERE .
