Celebrating Sierra

Sierra is 11! It's hard to believe that she's getting that old and harder to believe that I've been a mom for 11 years. (Shouldn't I know more?!) We had a wonderful time celebrating her today!

She came home from school to have a package from her best friend in the whole world waiting for her, and what a package it was! Adri had sent her a "party in a box" complete with confetti, party hats, goody bags, and more. It was so cute and so much fun for ALL the kids to open. We sure miss those guys! Adri knit her a beautiful scarf (featured on the left) with a note attached that said, "I made you this scarf. It took a lot of time and a lot of yarn." It was so cute of her.

She also had packages from grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles too and the day was so busy she didn't even get to open her presents until 9:30! Talk about patience! But we were too busy playing frisbee golf (a family favorite) and eating pumpkin pancakes at her favorite restaurant, IHOP. YUM!

We are so lucky to have Sierra in our family! She is smart, funny, thoughtful, and strong! She's really turning into an independent and beautiful young lady and I am so proud of her! Thank you to friends and family for making her day so special!!
