What can a mother say when her daughter creeps closer and closer to double digits? Stop! Rewind! I would if I wasn't so busy watching her in awe. She really is fascinating. I don't know if I was as driven or ambitious at her age. She is constantly planning, creating, learning, achieving. It is exhausting to be her mother most days. But so worth it. Mike and I always say she is a survivor. If we were to leave her alone on an island. She would have a modern civilization up and running in no time. So what does a soon to be nine year old want for her birthday? A mani/pedi party and a trip to New York with her family. How can I refuse a daughter who has been nothing but perfect?
With that said, here is Eva's 9th birthday questionnaire:
What's your favorite color? Aquamarine
What is your happiest memory? When we were all together in Costa Rica and got to swim and eat in the water at the same time.

What is the funniest thing Christopher (our elf) do? When Jingle(Julien's elf) and Chris made snow angels in fake snow in a pan.

Addendum to this post:
Eva chose to have a small party with her best friends, Megan, Kate and Savanah. They ate at the hibachi restaurant followed by manicures and pedicures at the spa. Does this girl know how to live or what?
