Braeya's Birthday Bash

Yes. She gets her own birthday post. :) Because of course!

Our little Braeya Jo Jo turned NINE years old on Monday. NINE! How is this possible?? Want to see some vintage Braeya? {Please overlook me. I hadn't shed the baby weight yet. Wait. What? You can't use that when you get a cat?}

I can't stand her cuteness...

Anyway!! Back to present day.

I only worked half a day on Monday, so when I came home, we bonded. I was doing some work in our room, and she had SUCH FUN with the birthday balloon. To be fair, we did not get her a balloon of her very own. This is leftover from Ryan's birthday, but it's pretty much her favorite thing right now, so we just sort of bequeathed it to her. She had such fun.

And then I did some laundry, which is her favorite chore we ever do, because that means she gets to play with a dryer sheet. {I don't make this stuff up. She has the WEIRDEST addictions.}

And then she was just worn out and had to rest. I mean, she IS nine, you know.

{She's also practicing for a future career in posing to be a lion outside a castle.}

Later...time to check some birthday greetings on Facebook:

And then her favoritest of the favorite: TV with her dad:

Even birthday girls tucker out...

She keeps us laughing, hopping, and short on sleep - and we love her!
