Our sweet Sidney lucked out and turned nine on a weekend :) That meant we had more than one day to celebrate, and we took advantage of that little fact. I asked her what we should do for a birthday treat, and being the kind hearted girl that she is, her request was "will you please make a cake so that Lincoln can eat it too?".
Tears welled up as I thought about how thoughtful that tiny statement was. She could have asked for anything, and her single request was to be sure her little brother could also enjoy it. I'm so glad our kiddos have their values in check :)
And so, I obliged and made a "safe for Lincoln" cake, with white frosting and sprinkles (her choice)! They all devoured a piece as quick as possible as we sang Happy Birthday and Lincoln took the opportunity to beat her at blowing out candles (for the record, she was pretty hot about that fact!).
Our full of spunk little girl is growing up so quickly and each day, she brings a huge smile to our face, laughter in our house and the day wouldn't be complete if she didn't make a statement that made us roll our eyes and shake our heads. "She's something else", is the most common statement out of my mouth. That girl is a hoot!!
Nine things we love about her:
* she's energetic.
* she's creative, and as a result, is fun to be around.
* she's a magnet with loads of friends because of her lovable personality
* she's sweet (need I say more?)
* she is funny!
* her smile is contagious and big.
* she loves her siblings (most of the time) and knows how to get them engaged
* she's willing to try new things from food to sports. New is exciting to her
* she's independent and responsible---making my life far easier!
Where has the time gone?
Happiest of birthdays Sidney!! Love you!
