On March 12th our precious Eliza turned 9 years old!
She was SO excited for her birthday party that weekend!
Eliza said the funniest things all week long as she waited for her birthday!
While I was brushing her hair one day – “I can’t wait to be nine! Being eight is challenging.”
Or – “When I am nine life will be SO much easier!”
Crack me up, girl!
We had her birthday party on a Sunday evening with our favorites!
It was perfect!
Fish tacos for dinner and chocolate raspberry cheesecake for dessert at Eliza’s request.
The best part about birthdays for us is giving gifts!
We had so much fun choosing things for Eliza.
After dinner and gifts there was THIS –
I know.
Addie Mae is amazing.
It was delicious too!!
This next photo is my new favorite photo of Eliza!!
We lit those candles and sang to Eliza while she just beamed.
Don’t you love her little hand on River?!!
That hand was saying “don’t you dare blow out my candles for me!”
As Eliza enjoyed her birthday dessert, she looked right at her Dad and I and said “I may be nine, but I feel twelve!!”
Slow down, sweet baby!
And can time slow down too, please?
We enjoyed the rest of our evening sipping coffee, snuggling a sweet baby, and watching the kiddos play.
Another great birthday!!
They come up so fast!
I cannot even think about Tate being ten in August!
How is it that our cabooses are getting so big??
Well…Tate is already counting the days until his birthday, so I am sure we won’t forget to celebrate him!
Next up is Lane and Kayla though!
Stay tuned to hear about their celebration – and to see photos of some more of Addie Mae’s amazing desserts!!
Eliza Claire, you are our dream come true!!
We are SO privileged to be your forever!!
To see all the Lord has allowed and is doing for you is inspiring!
We can’t wait to see how He writes the rest of your story, sweet girl!
Happy, happy birthday to you!!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
