This post is celebrating the day I became a mother. April 6, 2000. Now that sweet baby is ten years old! She has taught me so much. I just hope I have taught her something too!
Here's some highlights of her special day.
Bacon and Puffy Oven Pancakes for Breakfast (yum...no hot cereal this morning!)
A trip to the Denver temple. When Sarah was little, she loved to visit the Washington DC temple on her birthday. Weather was a little (OK a LOT) warmer in Maryland in April, but we made the most of it!
Isn't she beautiful!
And had to snap this little guy while I had the chance:
For presents she got a new dress (made by me--hope it fits for a little while!)
And some $ to do what she wants (along with a card telling her how awesome she is!).
Her "cake" request was pumpkin pie (which didn't require any decorating--I was kind of relieved!)
Make a wish and take a bite!
Happy Birthday Sarah!
10 things I love about Sarah are:
1. She always tries to do what is right.
2. She is a great help with her siblings. She loves them a lot!
3. She is a fabulous pianist--listening to her is a joy!
4. She is fun to talk to and share my little excitements with, like a gorgeous new fabric or a fun scrap page just finished.
5. She likes to be with her family.
6. She thinks a lot about others.
7. She is a great cook (and makes some meals all by herself!)
8. She sticks with me when I need help.
9. She is a great student.
10. She is beautiful inside and out.
Thanks Sarah, for being patient with me and letting me be your mom!
Happy Birthday, Sarah! and Happy mother's day to you, RaeLyn! You are one of the most amazing moms I know! I love your list about ten things you love about Sarah. she sounds like a very sweet, good, fun girl!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good Mother's Day. So sweet of you to post her birthday too! I can't believe she is 10? Has it really been that long since we were there?
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe how grown up Sarah looks. I guess these girls change a lot between 6 and 10! Sounds like a fun birthday!
