This one turned eight this week.
We planned her baptism.
And then asked her what kind of party she'd like to have afterward. She said she wanted a pirate party. I love this kid and her patience for our weird obsessions.
Bob the Pirate showed up with his new pets to welcome all our party guests.
Party goer: "Where do you live?"
Me: "Here's the street. You'll know the house because there's a pirate skeleton in the yard."
*later*
Party goer: "Wow, that was a really good idea put a skeleton in the yard to help people find your house for the party."
Me: "Yeah... for the paaarrrty... sure... that's why he's there."
She wore her pirate princess costume, devised at a thrift store for our recent trip to the Renaissance Faire.
I made yet another pirate cake (I am seriously starting to run out of ideas for this theme).
And she was dutifully impressed.
Every pirate princess deserves a pirate pinata.
And she managed to show everyone what the emotion enthusiasm looks like when she realized she'd gotten a hamster for her birthday.
I have few words with which to wrap this all up, except to say that this one has been a constant source of entertainment for these eight years. I cannot wait to see what the next eight bring.

Send me that first picture. I'd like to frame it.
