Makayla is 11!

Wow! It is so hard to believe that the baby girl God blessed us with so many years ago when we were first starting out has turned 11! She has grown into a beautiful, smart, talented young woman. She loves to read, write and she loves theater!

 

 

We gave her, her present a few days early so she could enjoy it over Christmas break. We surprised her with an iPhone! On a side note-times they are a-changing! James and I didn't have cell phones until we were adults! She now sends texts to her aunts, cousins and grandparents and sometimes she sends us a text from the next room!

On her birthday I took her lunch and we had cookies with her class.

That night, she opened her presents from her grandparents and per her request her daddy made her meatloaf and we all watched Brave.


                              


She originally wanted to have an indoor pool party but the place she wanted to have it at was closed for a moth due to roof repairs and she really didn't want to have it anywhere else. So, James and I struck a deal with her. She has been saving for another American Girl Doll, so we bought her the doll in place of having a big party. It was a win-win!

We are celebrating one last time this weekend with dinner of her choosing at Outback!
