• I was up pretty early this morning because today was Nonna's new knee day. They had to be at the hospital at 5:30 so of course they were there a little bit early, like at 5. I didn't make it until 7:30, but In was able to see Nonna before they wheeled her away. 
• I sat with Pops for a bit, but then we went to the cafe to get breakfast. I wasn't going to eat anything, but I saw scones like the church has so I couldn't pass them up. We ate, and then Jason joined us. They said it would take over an hour because her knee was pretty bad, and it took all of that time plus another hour and a half in recovery. That was fine though because we were moved to her room, and I spent my time crocheting. 
• Nonna made it back to her room around noon, and she was groggy for the rest of the time that I was there, and pretty much for the rest of the evening. I come home around 3, and while I had been gone the kids did their school work plus Graham and Campbell went to work this afternoon. 
• When I did get home, I had to check quite a bit of work, and then it was time to get ready for tonight's party. 
• Campbell had 13 friends come over tonight, and Keaton had 3 friends. It was a house full of girls. We had ham and cheese croissants, but the girls all brought boards, and they were all so creative-a popcorn board, bread board, candy board, veggie board, fruit board, caramel apple board, hot chip board, and chip and dip board are the ones that I can remember. There was so much food!
• Campbell and Keaton had done the decorations so cute. After the girls ate, Graham and Keaton had prepared a Family Feud game for them to play. Then they decorated cakes which took the rest of the evening. 
• When it was over, the girls went to town cleaning up the kitchen. When I came in the kitchen things were pretty much back to normal-it took a little bit of time to clean up everything, but Campbell, Keaton, and Graham all helped so now the house is pretty straight with just a few things left to do tomorrow. 
• I did make a mistake and sit down on the couch-I should not have done that because I'm so tired that I'm not sure if I can get up and head to bed!
