Birthday girl in new birthday outfit ~ she loves getting a new outfit on the morning of her birthday ~ last year it was a tinker bell outfit and we arrived in Disneyland on her birthday! Can't live up to that this year ~ sorry sweetie.
Yeah, Safeway. Didn't live up to my expectations of homemade but she LOVED it
Maria's love language is gifts. She LOVES receiving and picking out presents. We had a fun gymnastics party on Saturday and had 10 friends join in the fun (plus 3 siblings : ) ). Before that on Thursday my parents picked both the girls up from school, took them shopping, out to Red Robin, and then they spent the night there! On a school night no less. Maria got 2 new outfits, a new movie (Up), hair pretties, and high heel shoes. My parents joined us for dinner last night and Maria still has one more party coming with cousins, and other grandparents. She has been well celebrated!
Maria was the baby of our family until 4 months ago. It wasn't until she started kindergarten last year that I learned that she is actually a strong leader. She is kind, tender, smart, helpful, and likes to tell other kids what to do! : ) She is an amazing artist, a great organizer, very into pretty girl things, and detail oriented. She remembers the craziest things. She is a delight. It still saddens me that she had to spend the first 2 years and 8 months of her life in a Guatemalan orphanage but that just reminds me to celebrate her all the more and celebrate how the Lord brought her to us. We love you Maria Rosa! We are so proud of you and blessed beyond measure to call you daughter!
