Happy 6th Birthday Adeline

Adeline, you are amazing.  You pay attention to so many details.  You help keep us on track and you keep a close eye on our schedule.  You have your own unique style.  You love to have your hair done up and I love to do it.  You played Upward Basketball this past winter. We are looking forward to upcoming soccer.  As a special treat that you have been anticipating for 6 or more months we got your ears pierced just before your birthday.  Your love of God is amazing.  You already know more Bible stories than I do.  You flip through your Bible regularly.  You are on a reading frenzy.  THis summer I think you realized if you want to, you can read just about anything.  You are amazingly generous.  Many times when I didn't think it would be expected to share, you give to Essie and you give more than I expect.  I pray I am as generous as you!  You are a writer.  You write encouraging notes almost daily.  I find letters in envelopes for your friends often.  You write Essie love letters all the time. So encouraging!  You love first grade and being a First grade Frog!  Fully Relying on God!

I love you girl and so do many others.

For your party we had it at the Tilley pool for family and the Tilley's, Otts, and McNeils (new friends). You choose a mermaid theme.  The chocolate tails started melting on our hot August evening before I got a good picture, but the cupcakes were delicious!

Below is something new I tried... instead of sending in cupcakes to school we sent in applesauce and juice boxed with some decorations to look like mermaids and dolphins!
