Happy Birthday #9 Makayla!

My baby is 9 years old. When did that happen??! I love my sweet girl! She is such a big helper and is so grown up lately. Sometimes I could do without the "grown up" attitude, but her big heart and happy personality makes up for it. She sparkles with creativity and intelligence. Her love of learning and reading helps her progress and grow in school. Makayla is such a good big sister to Logan and Savannah. They look forward to when she comes home from school, so she can come up with fun things for them to play and do. She is a great example to them. I am lucky to have such an amazing daughter!


Today for Makayla's birthday, we delivered cookies to Makayla's class, and then picked her up from school to head to the Webkinz store. Makayla was super excited to spend her birthday cash from her grandmas on some new Webkinz. Thank you, Grandmas!

Makayla poses with her new Miley doll. Then, it's off to Young Mens/Young Womens for a Super Hero night. These 3 are my HEROS!

We ended the birthday fun singing to Makayla. Somehow it took three times lighting the candles to let everyone help blow them out. You can see here that Makayla's trying to help Savannah out with blowing the candles.

Looks fun, believe or not I heard all about the birthday today from Brinnley. Including the Webkinz (what are those anyway?). She said she sent Kayla (that's what she likes to call her) a purse and a necklace and she loves her so much. Tell her happy b-day from Rose cousins :).

Have I ever told you how much Savannah reminds me of Jeanette when she was that age? Scary that I can remember when Jeanette was that age--there must be a picture up on Grandma's wall somewhere that has helped to jog my memory... Happy b-day Makayla! May birthdays are the best!
