I have an 8 year old. How did that happen?

Miss Tizz turned 8 on Friday. We had an early morning of opening presents on our bed, passing phone calls to the birthday girl, and then the usual mad rush to school, leaving behind a mountain of wrapping paper ...



After school there were presents from Nanna, and then we headed off to see Night at the Museum 2 at the movies. We all enjoyed it, although I suspect the kids had no idea who half the historical characters were. Hmmm ... maybe there's opportunity for a history lesson there (even if it is US-centric) ...

And then there was cake:



Yep - the birthday girl is wearing a sundress in the middle of winter. I swear that girl has her thermostat set to something completely different from the rest of us.

But check out the candles! They have different coloured flames!
