I can’t believe that it has been nine years since this sweet girl came into our lives. What a privilege it has been to be her mom! She is the essence of sweetness. She is smart as a whip. She is more of an athlete than I ever thought about being (although, admittedly, that’s not saying much). She loves God with a simplicity that is admirable. She is a homebody and a people-pleaser. All in all, she is a joy to be around and I really, really like her.
This year she decided to have her birthday party at the ice skating rink. Until a few weeks ago, I didn’t even know we had an ice skating rink in Birmingham. A friend invited us to her birthday party there and it was SO MUCH FUN that Mary Anneliese declared it as her new favorite party place.
I love this group of young ladies! They are so much fun and get along so well. They are sweet and kind to each other. They are usually very encouraging to each other. Not at all the “mean girls” that you hear so much about. We are so very thankful to have them in our lives! Their sweet spirits were the REAL gifts at this birthday shindig.
Happy birthday to my firstborn! I can’t believe nine years has passed with you. I would be happy to spend the next ninety with you!
Love,
Your Biggest Fan
