Happy Birthday Brigitta!

DSC00089


The first of our double April birthdays was celebrated this past weekend. Brigitta Danielle turned a very big-girl four-years-old.

While she was disappointed that this did not mean that she would be giving up afternoon naps, she did enjoy playing the birthday card to get first computer time, preferential toy privileges, and just about anything else she could think of. Who can blame her? Being #6 of 8, waiting your turn is a fact of life. Take advantage of perks when you can!

We enjoyed her ballerina cake (skillfully decorated by Bryan) after lunch followed by a couple presents. For her "eating-out" experience, she chose Ice Cream Paradise. It was a chilly event with the temps in the 50s and quite breezy! Still, only Mom and Hunter were ready to go when Dad called "Time's Up."

And now from the home office in the middle of a muddy yard in Indiana -

The Top 4 Things We Love About Brigitta:

  1. Those eyes, that smile - an angel here on earth!
  2. She is so full of joy. The smallest thing can make her absolutely giddy.
  3. She adores he little sister Heidi. Those two will grow up to be the closest of friends.
  4. What a little lady! Her greatest desire is to be a princess for Jesus (preferably while dancing ballet)!

    Lainie,
    I can't believe she is 4 years old already. I think Megan was almost 4 when I met you all.
