She had requested breakfast in bed (just like mom gets on her birthday and Mother's day) and it had to be chocolate chip pancakes. Daddy obliged and woke up at 7am to start making the pancakes, Cooper was already awake. She has a difficult time containing her excitement.
She managed to stay in her room and get ready for school, despite her impatience creeping up. We all sang Happy Birthday to her as we entered the room.
Then she wanted to open gifts & cards she had received in the mail, that we made her wait until her actual birthday to open. New pj's from Grandma Debe & Papa Butch. And a card from Uncle Jeremy & Aunt Beth.
We all went downstairs to the family room to wait for an important phone call she would receive at 7:45am. And to her surprise, her birthday gift from mom & dad was there waiting for her. A new bike!!!
Cooper also had a super day at school. Chad and I joined her for lunch and then brought Campbell to class to share birthday snacks. This is Cooper standing in front of her class while we sang Happy Birthday to her.
Tonight we are heading to the opening game of KSU Basketball. I think Cooper has had a fantastic 8th birthday.

It doesn't seem possible that she is 8. I love the new bike! Happy Belated Birthday, Cooper!
