Nine Years Ago

Nine years ago this little girl made me a mother.  I am so blessed to be her mother. She has a kind heart. She is eager to do good. She loves to sing. She knows who she is.  She is thoughtful. She works hard.

Saturday was her day.  We woke her up super early b/c we had to head out the door to Tempe. She opened one of her presents. The pink and purple basket ball that she asked for.  She was pretty happy. In the morning she was a good sport and watched her mom, dad and cousins race in Pat's Run.  When we got home  Grandma Stacy let her open the present from her and she asked to open her second present from us a doctor kit. Filled will stethoscope, blood pressure kit,  Otoscope, eye chart and bandages.  She was really cute and kept on saying "I can't believe that you got me a REAL doctor kit"
I took my girl to Joe's Farm grill for her free lunch and then we waited around for dinner with cousins.  Her choice for dinner salmon, she loves it. Her request for cake was cheesecake.

We waited for it to get dark to watch an outdoor movie. If you know anything about us as a family we love our movies. A little to much for my taste but, to have a movie outside was really fun.

To finish off the birthday celebration Luke and I took Lilly a special birthday lunch to school and sent her to school with a birthday cupcakes to share with the class.
