How is it possible that our little love bug turned today? Eight? She’s such a happy, loveable, free spirit that marches to the beat of her own drum. 

This morning she woke up at 5:30am for her last day of 2nd grade with a huge smile when we handed her her first of 8 gifts she’ll receive today. New pjs and a birthday ribbon to wear for pajama day at school. We went to pick up a couple dozen donuts from her favorite donut shop to share with her class mates. I picked up her lunch request and went to have lunch with her and Bitty. Then went to the store for a few things to celebrate her birthday this evening with a few friends and family. I wonder if this kiddo realizes just how loved she is? I also wonder if she knows it’s looking like she’s going to be a shorty like her mama? She’s a good two inches shorter than her big sissy was when she turned eight. Too cute! Happy 8th birthday Mad!
