Alexia's 8th B'day Party (Her Golden B'day)

Not only was Rachel's new best friend/neighbor right across the street having a birthday but she was also moving away. There had been talk about this being Alexia's 8 birthday on October 8 and that meant that you get 8 presents as it is your Golden B'day.   SO Rachel was determined to make sure Alexia received 8 gifts.

Rachel made her a picture frame with a picture of the two of them.
She made her a bottle cap necklace like the one she had made at Achievement Days. It had 3-4 interchangeable bottle caps. Super Cute!!!
She got her a Justin Bieber CD.
AND a Justin Bieber T-shirt.
We went to Justice to pick out a few more things, like;

a sparkling blue scarf

a blue peace choker necklace

a sparkling pink headband
and a BFF necklace

It was fun to watch her open all 8 gifts. Rachel was very excited.

Lauren also made Kya a frame and bottle cap necklace as a going away gift.

I know gifts are just material things, but it was our expression of how much we have enjoyed being their neighbors, for their friendship and of how much we are going to miss them.
