Ali was very into decorating for Mer's birthday this year!
She is excited to be 9 years old!
Of course, the morning started with donuts from Daddy, and a couple of gifts.
Over the years, the birthday celebrations have become known as the "actual" birthday and the "friend" birthday.
The Friend birthday was at our house with several girls from her class for a Monster High Birthday party. They watched the Monster High movie --- played Pin the Bow on the Skull (the slogan or trademark for Monster High.) They also played Monster High dolls, (Mer has a million of them) and of course cake and presents.
The girls loved our game! :)
The actual birthday was at Olive Garden - again! :) Gramma, Mikey, Grandma Sandy and Cord were able to come along and help celebrate.
