We gave C a real birthday celebration last week - exactly one month after her birthday. This sweet girl of mine has incredible self control opting to wait and open most of her presents at her party instead of on her actual birthday (while we were on the road trip). This year she requested a Samantha/Victorian themed party. She gave me the details on how she wanted it to be from one of her favorite books. We did it all as she wished - minus ruining her ice cream with salt (we figured she wouldn't want that part of the book to happen 😉 ). I think she was pleased with how it all turned out.The nine year change seems to be hitting a year late but never you mind that - she has the biggest heart I know. She is constantly looking for ways to serve others. We nicknamed her our dear little peacekeeper a couple of years back - always finding ways to end quarrels and bring peace and happiness back to everyone involved. What would we do without her? This girl is going to change this world. You just wait and see!
p.s. Rav notes on her birthday sweater here. She hasn't taken it off since she got it!
