Leading Up to Nine

How is it possible that my baby turns 9 today?! I feel like I just recapped her birth story, and here we are celebrating the last single digit year before she hits a full decade. Whoa.

In-between out of town gymnastics competitions, we celebrated her a few weeks early with her favorite school friends at Buff City Soap. The kiddos got to make their own bath bombs to take home, and enjoyed another delicious custom cake from our former neighbor. The BEST! 

Then it was time to celebrate our friends' twins who were turning 8 with a pool party. It was nice to catch up with some of our favs, and we grabbed pizza after before calling it a night.

The next day we enjoyed brunch at STK Steakhouse in Disney Springs. Their all you can eat brunch menu is delish! Rumor has it, I'm still full. Also always here for a fun photo opp in front of their floral logo. 

Another gymnastics meet for Lil' Miss the following weekend which had us up at 5:30 am, and on the road by 6:00 so she could start stretching at 7:30 on the other side of the state. Multiple coffees later, she earned an additional 2 medals. One for bars and another for the all around.

Today, we are celebrating our sweet girl and I'm sure the day will be filled with LOTS of excitement, treats, and video calls with family up north.
