My baby is 9, how did that happen

My sweet baby girl turned 9 years old today. In my mind she is still 3! But no, she's now 9, almost 10 she told me... (and thinks she is 18)

I woke up this morning thinking of what a wonderful day it was 9 years ago...

before she insisted on doing her own hair, picking our her own clothes, etc...

This girl is the funny, outgoing, never meet a stranger kind of girl.

She requested a tiara to wear today. She chose one friend to spend the day with her and she planned our day:

We had pizza for lunch.

We had pedicures.

We went to Art Avenue to paint fun things

And we ended our evening with dinner with family and friends.

I think she enjoyed her day. I love you sweet girl, you make me smile every day!
