Seven years ago she was born the day before Thanksgiving...what a day. I tell her about that day often and she loves hearing about it, especially the part where EVERYONE and their mother was at the hospital for her birth (and then in true typical sister form she reminds me that only Papaw came to Brooklyn's birth since we had moved to TX). She loves loves the part where the security guards had to come to move my family and friends to another area because they were taking up too much room and surprsingly they were too loud...no how can that be?? That minute she was born life would ulitmately never be the same and I am so glad for that. This little girl so sweet and small would teach me so much about life, love and being a mom. Sometimes I feel bad because she is my first I make a lot of my mistakes on her :) but God must have known because that girl has more grace, heart and maturity than anyone I know. She goes above and beyond at being a big sister to the two little ones...she is always helping or taking care of a friend who needs something and thinking about others. She constantly leaves me love notes, cards and pictures that make even a bad day turn around in a snap. Kennedy can write forever, loves coloring and anything Barbie!
Birthday morning surprises
Just ice cream sundaes, not a cake eater!
Wanted to eat Mexican for her birthday dinner...she loved being sung to and the hat! Check out Brooklyn in the background on her phone!
Heading off to school for her birthday celebration!
Kennedy, I can definitely see that this year has brought about so many changes...such a jump growth wise, socially, and maturity wise from Kindergarten to 1st grade. You are my little reader with a book in your hand walking around the house. Learning how to do things gets frustrating because you are way more comfortable doing what you know and are afraid you aren't going to do it right (so much like your mommy). But your face shines bright and the pride when you get to do something new is amazing. You are asking so many questions now about life and everything in between, God, relationships, people and really taking it all in. All of a sudden this world and place we live is becoming so much more to you and you realize how full it is. I still love checking on you at night before I go to bed, kissing your forehead and just staring at you like I did when you were a baby in your crib. The time has gone so fast but I have loved you more and more everyday, laughed with you, cried with you and learned about life with you. Your daddy is always saying to me how special you are and what a smart and sweet girl you are! I am proud to be your mommy and glad that God made you the big sister in this family! Happy 7th Birthday!
