Ballerina Rosie turned 8!

Today my Flashback is Ballerina Rosie!
Here she is 10 months old!
She was born with so much hair, that she wore little pink bow barrettes home from the hospital!
She had her first bangs haircut at 2 months old!

Here she is on her 8th birthday!!
She decided for her birthday she wanted to meet a friend for Mass at noon, where there was a brand new priest who gave her and all of us a special blessing! Then on to a local flower park for a picnic and pictures.

These pictures really do not do the flowers justice, they are breathtaking in real life!

There are several levels of gardens and shade gardens on a block below this one, down by the Mississippi River.

Then on home for make-your-own ice cream sundaes!
