On Norah's actual birthday, we had donuts and eggs for breakfast and Norah got to open a card from my grandma and a present from my aunt Lori before having a normal school day (not Norah's idea of a fun birthday). Luckily, her birthday was on a Tuesday, which is an open night for us, so we had plenty of time to finish opening presents and go out for dinner (Norah's choice--Raising Cane's). We came back and had cake that our neighbor had made Norah as a birthday present. Dave had also picked up cupcakes from Sugar Rose, so we enjoyed those the next weekend when his parents came up for a visit.
On the Friday after Norah's birthday, I took the afternoon off to take Norah to her 8-year check up at the doctor. She was 47 inches tall (7th percentile) and weighed 47 pounds (13th percentile).
I brought her back to school, and after picking up Abby, we went back and picked up Norah and her friends, Breia and Emma. I took the girls swimming at the aquatic center, then we picked up pizza and headed home. The girls ate, did some painting, opened presents, had cupcakes, and played. Before bed, they watched Frozen 2 (Norah's choice of theme for her party). Breia ended up going home before bed, and Emma had to leave early the next morning for dance pictures, but Norah had a lot of fun with her friends!
