Lydia's Birthday

It was our sweet Lydia's birthday on the 23. She turned 6 years old. The time has gone so fast for Adam and I. I remember so vividly the night she was born, that it doesn't seem like it could possibly be six years ago. WOW!

Anyway, we love our little Bug so much. She is the happiest person that we have ever met. I rely on her good mood so much. In fact, when she is grumpy (which is hardly ever), it throws me way off and I have to make conscious choices to be happy. Sometimes I fail and cave to the temptations to be grumpy. I rely on her more than I should. We are so grateful for her beautiful spirit and the overwhelming amount of love that she carries within her.

We are so blessed to be your parents, Lydia. You make us happier than we would have ever thought possible. Happy Birthday Bug!





We had a birthday party for Lydia with our friends and neighbors the Saturday before her birthday. (Those are the pictures above). Then on her actual birthday we had just family activities and gifts. (Those are the pictures below). Lydia wanted to have blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs for her birthday dinner. So since we had a huge Dairy Queen ice cream cake for her party, we put her candles on her pancakes. She thought that it was great!





We love you so much Bug!

That is such a sweet tribute! Lydia looks adorable with her short hair. I'm glad you had such fun celebrations. Dairy Queen ice cream cakes are the BEST! I haven't had one forever, but I absolutely love them.

I know, I still can't believe Braden is 6 either. Lydia looks so grown up. She's gorgeous. I hope she marries Braden :)
I wish we could have been at her party. Looks like a lot of fun!
I posted something on my blog I wanted you to read. I'm not fond of expressing my feelings outloud but this was necessary after some recent experiences I had.
Let's get together sometime soon!
