Happy 8th Birthday MegAnna!
She had a simple birthday celebration (we knew we would have more celebrating later in the month with her baptism, so we just had a regular family party). She got a Barbie Christmas DVD, a big eyed cat stuffed animal, Ariel and Eric barbie dolls, a purse with nail polished and nail stickers, birthday money and a few other little gifts. She asked for Unicorn and pony cake, so I made a round layered cake with My Little Ponies on top. She was satisfied! She asked for Pasta Salad for dinner (the pasta salad with meat, cheese, peas, tomatoes and ranch dressing). Dad had a bunch of left over hamburgers from a work barbeque, so he brought those home and we had both. We did dinner and presents early so that Dad could take the kids to their 4-H meeting that night. I had a Relief Society thing to be at, so we didn't end up doing her cake until the next day.
Megan is a joy to have in our home. She is a great helper. She is our best cleaner. She can definitely make her share of messes, but she is very good about cleaning things up too. She will often volunteer to clean the girls bedroom by herself. She loves to surprise my by cleaning her room or one of the other rooms in the house and then have me go in with my eyes closed and open them to see how clean it is. She is an animal lover - all kinds of animals. Sometimes she loves them almost a little too much, but you get the feeling from all our pets that they know who to go to for lovin.' She is a people pleaser. She loves to do things that make people happy. Which also means she is a good student. She likes to be the helper in her class and stay on task to please her teachers. She is super social - she can and does make friends with people of all types: old, young, boys, girls, etc. And she is a hugger, so all her friends get all sorts of hugs from her too. She is strong willed, which is most instances is really great. Occasionally she'll decide to be strong willed about something that isn't the best, which can sometimes get her into a little trouble, but I figure that is going to be a great trait to get her through her teenage years in the world these days. She loves to watch movies, play barbies, swim, play on the trampoline, play with stuffed animals, read books at night in bed, etc. Megan is very compassionate and lovable. She will give in to her siblings if she can tell they really want something. She likes to do hair, and she is getting pretty good at trying out her own made up hairstyles. She is pretty pleased when I let her do her own hair. She used to be a skirt wearing girl (every single day), but since the new school year has started she has enjoyed wearing pants. Megan has a sweet spirit that lights up the room. We love her to pieces.
