Maren's 9th birthday


Happy Birthday Maren!!!! She is now nine years old. Which means that in a few weeks Sean and I would have been married for 10 years. Yikes! We had a nice little family party. Maren got some great gifts.


Here is Maren showing off her # 9 cupcake and below is Brenna showing off her cupcake smile:)



Here is Conner asking for more cupcake, and Corby licking his fingers after chowing down on delicious cupcake.



Here is Maren's favorite gift of all. She got a Chinese dwarf hamster. She named her Twila, and is just the cutest little hamster you can find. We almost bought one of the double decker hamster cages, but decided that she would be small enough to fit through the bars. Since we have a cat, that would have been a recipe for disaster. She is nice and secure in her tank. The kids have so much fun making up obstacle courses for her, and just plain holding her. She loves to climb up one's arm and snuggle up on your shoulder right next to your neck. I think I might have to get another one though. All the kids love her so much and all want to hold her all the time.

Maren was so inspired by her hamster that she has decided to write a story about her. I think she said that she has about 3 chapters already.
