Miss Mckinley Reese- how did we get to nine already? Where did eight go? It seems like we were just planning your baptism, just sending you to kindergarten and just holding you in my arms when you were so tiny.

You are a perfect specimen of a daughter! You are smart, sassy, friendly, committed, stubborn, fun, adventurous, careful, artistic, and caring. You LOVE Pusheen, graphic/comic novels, drawing and recreating anything that you deem "cute" (narwhals, chubby unicorns, cats) and have mastered the art of the anime eye. You love chocolate and lasagna. Riding bikes, playing with friends, singing in the choir, swimming, reading and watching Cartoon Network are some of our favorites.

In true fashion we celebrated almost all month long. Started with the Williamson party with the Oreo Ice Cream cake that you specifically chose because of the massive Oreo on top. You got a stuffed Pusheen from Grandma, clothes, art supplies and money (your favorite part).

We then celebrated with the Lawrences where you always get to share with Mimi and Uncle Brayden because you all are so close in birthdays. Another Pusheen from Mimi ("best day ever") and more surprises and spoiling.

Tradition also served a Saturday of Breakfast with a Witch with Mimi and your BFF Avery and her mom Charity. You love the endless hot chocolate, the rat choir and that they sing to you on your birthday. You were also lucky enough to get to spend a few hours with Avery and her mom at the Farmer's Market and playing at their house.

We waited and prayed for you for what seemed like forever but how thankful we are to have you! You love what you love and you love it fiercely. You bless our family. You lighten our lives and we are so proud to call you ours.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICKEY DO!

Happy "Bird Day"

The singing, flowering candle was pretty epic.

WITCHES!

When 3 LOL doll surprises are all it takes to make your birthday awesome! We got one duplicate but the bath bomb was a hit.
