Sophia ~ you are funny, creative, artistic, smart, beautiful, thoughtful and stubborn. You are over 4 feet tall now, you have lost four teeth, you love your dog Daphne, playing on the monkey bars, going to gymnastics and you enjoy sweets just like your Mom. You are a wonderful daughter and a delight to everyone who knows you. We wish you a very happy birthday and thank you for the joy you have brought to our family.
Sophia had her birthday party with her BFF’s this past Saturday. She opted to have a craft party at Michael’s where she and her friends decorated purses. They used paint, glue and lots of bling to make their bags look quite spectacular. They also enjoyed snacks and cupcakes and the girls sang “Happy Birthday” to Sophia over the store intercom. Her party on Saturday was the third of four birthday celebrations. She celebrated her birthday with classmates at school on June 2 and with daycare friends on June 10. Tomorrow is the highlight of her celebrations with a day of hanging out with Dad, opening presents, going out for pizza and ice cream cake for dessert from DQ. Needless to say, she is VERY excited.
Week 23 Theme ~ Enchanted
I took this photo of these beautiful flowers on a crab apple tree in our backyard. When we moved to our house nearly 12 years ago, this tree didn’t look as though it would make it another year. Woodpeckers had made holes in the trunk. There were several dead branches. As the years passed by, I kept thinking the tree had bloomed for the last time. But once again this year, the buds opened to display these pretty blooms. I took this photo last week just a couple of days before we had strong winds that made the pedals cascade down like rain making our backyard look enchanted.
