Happy Birthday Marissa!!!

Today Marissa turned nine, Wow!! I can't believe it! We celebrated by having a BBQ last night and having a sleep over. Marissa had nine girls spend the night, yes! nine!! The weather was so nice yesterday we did everything outside.
Marissa's ninth birthday party will go down in one of the most unforgettable moments in my life! While playing games in the back yard we noticed smoke rolling over the roof. We all thought our house was on fire, it really looked like it too!!! To make a long story short it was all due to our pellet stove,there was no fire! Thank God!! It still shook everyone up!! I panicked at the moment of chaos and started screaming "Call the fire detector, Call the fire detector!" Okay, so I meant "Call the fire department" But, at the time I could not think straight! There was so many things going through my mind in the few seconds of chaos! Now, my words will be the talk of future Thanksgiving dinners, forever!!! We still had a great time though!! We were all tired today, it was a long night! We took the girls swimming after cake and ice cream and then come back to the house where the girls were up watching movies and playing games into the early morning hours. I have some cute pictures of the cake I made and of the party that I will post soon!!!

Spring break starts on Friday, Yay!!! We are going to go to Seattle, I can't wait!!!
