Happy Birhday, R!

R turned 10!  Double digits in age!!  

For R's birthday we had a pool party with family and a Get Artzy party with friends.  It was a wonderful birthday for R and she had a great time at both parties!

  10 things I love about R, my new 10 year old:

1.  You are one of the kindest people I know
2.  You are considerate of others and their feelings
3.  You put your best effort into everything you do
4.  You are a giver
5.  You aren't afraid to try new adventures
6.  You are just as brave with the food you will try
7.  Your brother and sister are fortunate to have you as an older sister, you love them something fierce
8.  You are full of personality
9.  You are creative
10. You stand up for yourself and know who you are

We love you, R!!!
