Sweet, Sassy, Smart -- SIX

Why oh why do our babies have to grow up?  It is a serious problem.  And one that has resulted in me having a third child.  I just have to have a baby around, and don't like that they keep getting older!

This girl -- the one who made me a mommy -- she is unreal.  Greater than the sum of her parts.  Beautiful and smart -- with the kindest heart of anyone I know (except, perhaps, her Daddy).

And, hopefully, her sixth birthday was a dream come true.  A horse party for our little horse lover.

Celebrating her birthday at school.

With her bestie/birthday buddy Zoe!

 Family birthday celebration.

Here for the horse party!

Sometimes she stops me in her tracks.

 Candy hunt.

Nana's entertainment was the highlight of the party.
