5!


062
lyla’s birthday was on the 31st. she is excited to be 5. 
i asked what she thought would be the best part about being five: “i'll be bigger.” 
i asked what she thought was the best part about being four: “i was smaller.” 
talk about a glass half full kind of girl:)  that is one of the (MANY!)  things we love about lyla; her easy, go with the flow, “give me some peace and quiet” personality.  
she is also the cuddle queen of the universe.  
a thinker. 
a sweetheart in the truest sense.  i marvel at her compassion and forethought. 
a good little sister. 
a helper. 
a comedian. 
a lover of God. 
a blessing. 
a genuine generous spirit.  she likes to share her good things, not so that she will be repaid, but because it brings her joy. 
…and so much more. 
when we were planning her party she said, “i don’t want a big party, i don’t like all of that chaos.”  ha!  so little party it was, with just a few friends.

we also celebrated with family.  our cousins, kris and lori, were in town with their kiddos.  between them and the family that lives here, it was quite the bash.
