The Actual Birthday

As has been the past few years, S is blessed with several birthday celebrations during October. Today, her actual birthday, she got to take cupcakes into school to share with her class. She received from them a birthday book where everyone drew a picture of Sydney and wrote why she was special.

In the evening she got to open her presents and at dinner she had her favorite meal: lemon-garlic shrimp with couscous and broccoli. This was followed by sharing birthday cake with our friends and neighbors.

It was a fun birthday month for Sydney and I hope she knows how special she is and how blessed we are to have her in our lives.

I'll close with one of her first pictures so we can be reminded of how much she's grown up these past 6 years! We love you, Sydney!
