This darling birthday girl does not need a special day to see that life is beautiful and happy and great!!
She has always been a ray of sunshine in our home. I wish I had her knack for seeing the good and beautiful in everything around her. I have to work at it...but for her, it's natural. And I love it. When things feel grim at all, I just look into her little eyes, and feel that happy zest for life.
We celebrated birthday number 6 with pizza and BYU Creamery ice cream (now sold in $1.00 cones right up the street...yum!). And of course we went around the dinner table, and each told Eliza what we loved about her. And she loved every minute of it. We also spent an hour at the park, and the afternoon playing outside with good friends. And the new litter of baby kittens were finally ready to hold, just in time for her birthday. Papa and Nana come to visit tomorrow, so we'll make a cake and do more celebrating this weekend while they are here to join us.
And of course, there were gifts.
A play horse, a Horses and Riding book, cowgirl clothes for her doll...
And her favorite gift, given by our cute neighbor girl (who Lizzy quite adores),
her very own ukulele!
The strummin' and singing hasn't stopped. Perfect for this music-loving girl of mine!
Thanks, neighbors!
Happy Birthday, dear Liza!!

Happy birthday Liza! Love the ukele picture (and the BYU ice cream).
Happy Birthday to your sweet Liza! Love the idea of going around the room and telling what you love about the birthday gal/guy. Will have to use that one for a certain soon to be 7 year old in my home.

Cannot believe my darling sweet Eliza girl is 6. Wow.
PS Ukulele... awesome. I think my piano-dragging girl needs one of those.
I can't believe how grown up she is looking Tricia! NOT FAIR! Can't they stay young? What a sweet, sweet girl! No doubt a gem. Luv her!
