Winnie is 9!

 Due to scheduling conflicts, we divided up the family birthday festivities. We hosted the Grovers for a birthday dinner on Sunday, October 3. Then we had the Scotts over on Sunday, October 17 for more birthday fun (and apparently I didn't take pictures that day). We also had a Yellowstone Bear World coupon that needed to be used before the end of the season, and since Winnie didn't have school that day, we went Monday, October 5 and counted it as birthday festivities as well.

The family watching Winnie open presents. She also got a giant Star Wars popup book and cash from Grandma Susan and Grandpa Dennis and a Rainbocorn from the Wildes. (She also received Milky Ways and Milk Duds from the Scotts and a children's novel signed by the author from Grandma and Grandpa Scott).

Winnie's reaction to the Rainbocorn.

Winnie opening her big birthday present from the family: a hoverboard. She paid for half of it.

The hoverboard. It has a Bluetooth speaker and lights up, so Winnie wheels all around the kitchen/living room listening to her music.
