8

How can it be? 8 years old today!  

A very proud and confident 8.

An eight-year-old who impresses us with maturity (most of the time),

who is kind, thoughtful and creative.

A girl who has a big heart.

One who blows us away with creativity and invention.

Your attention to detail and memory is tremendous (for better or worse).

You amaze us with your ability to try new things.

You love to sew and are eager to learn more.

You think things through, you plan, you organize.

You are still an artist through and through.

You love to bake and decorate and are hungry for more.

Your love of Legos, building and architecting new things remains.

You go, go, go...but when you are tired, look out!

You are a good friend.

You are serious but there is a silly side in there too.  

You are a rule follower but don't like to lose.

You love your cat (and your brother) but mostly your cat.

It's fun to see you nurture Luna and see the love she has right back for you.

You are growing up to be a pretty incredible kid.

We are so very proud to call you ours.

Happy Birthday to you, Carmen James.
