As I type this, Nia is just a couple hours shy of officially turning 9. She is quite serious lately and has specifically requested no birthday party this year. I knew there was a shift when for the first time last year she decided to have a birthday party at the house. It turned out that it rained for the first time ever on her party day, so it was perfect!
This year we originally had plans to join our friends at their favorite beach, but they fell through so we made our way to our happy place instead: Cape Cod!
We visited a new-to-us beach and enjoyed pizza for dinner followed by a family movie night last night watching Monster House.
Today was all about Dunkin' for breakfast, opening an EPIC card from her Auntie Ariane, the August Black Girl Mathgic box I ordered for her, and just relaxing before heading back to Boston.
It's a good family day.
Happy birthday to my Virginia!
