A month after we moved to Hillsboro, Caity turned nine!!
Memories I want to jot down about the day:
It was the Sunday before school started.
Because it was fast Sunday, and she wasn't going to eat breakfast, the whole family went to IHOP Saturday night, where Caity chose strawberry crepes (her favorite.)
She told me she was too grown up for themes now, but still wanted it to feel like a birthday.
She got a new, bright birthday dress to wear to church.
For lunch, she chose homemade Mac & Cheese, mummy hot dogs, juice, and a treat.
She loved getting phone calls from everyone.
For dinner she had homemade chicken noodle soup and homemade rolls.
Her cake was "Better than Anything" cake.
Her main gift was a sewing machine! (She has used it like crazy since then.)
Our new friends, the Osbornes, stopped by and stayed to play for a while, which was fun.
Dear Caity:
You are my lifeline among a house of boys. So many times you see a need before anyone realizes it and you get to work right away. I'm so grateful for your empathetic, resilient, fun spirit. The older you get, the more of a close friend you are becoming. I love talking with you, laughing with you and learning with you. Thank you for being such a leader in our family. We love you around here!!
Love,
Mom
