Such a bitter-sweet day! How can my baby be 10 already?? Mackayla's birthday was on a Sunday this year, so we got to have a nice relaxing day. After church, the Holts joined us for a little celebration.
Here are some great pictures of Mackayla that capture her personality perfectly.
She wanted pancakes with homemade syrup for dinner.
The cardinals were playing football that day as well
Time to open the presents. She got lots of new art supplies, and a fancy sheep skin rug.
Happy Birthday to you!
Mackayla at 10
We've been writing the same things for years, but Mackayla is very constant in her likes and dislikes. She is usually very happy unless she has to go to bed, wake up for school, or do her homework. She loves playing with her siblings, and is still a wonderful big sister. She loves art and being creative. You can just give her some paper and a pencil, and she'll stay busy for hours. She enjoys writing funny commercials for silly products, drawing funny pictures, and writing stories. She has done so great this last year in overcoming so many of her fears. She lived through her most dreaded nightmare, moving from our home in Utah. She has been so brave and done so well. She has adjusted well to her new school and made new friends. She finally agreed to take swimming lessons this last summer and is still learning the piano from her Mom. She was so proud to play Deck the Halls for the Family Christmas program this year. She's looking forward to playing soccer again this spring. She loves to read and is still one of Calvin and Hobbes' biggest fans. We love her mature sense of humor, and how she always get all of our jokes now. She bring so much happiness to our family, and we are so proud of the girl that she is. We love you Mackayla!
