McKaleigh's Birthday

I am finally getting to post about my eldest's birthday. She is getting so big, so grown up, and having so much fun with life! This year McKaleigh had some of her closest friends over for snacks, movies, gossip, and we had a woman come over and do "Glitter Toes" on the girls. They had a great time and the chatter was nonstop!Then we had a little family party - all McKaleigh wanted this year was a keyboard and some books to play piano with. She is not sure about lessons (and I don't want to force them on her), but does a great job sight reading!

McKaleigh is officially a "tween". She still really enjoys reading and has my library card filled with her holds for new books. Is a great babysitter and a neighborhood favorite with the younger kids. McKaleigh is a great helper and does most of whatever she is asked to do without any argument, she loves to cook and thumb through recipe books looking for new and creative things to try (kale chips are terrible!). She has spent alot of time looking through our movies, moving on to the pg-13 variety (with our approval!). Karate is still her sport, and she is currently a blue belt, putting in daily practice time, but most of all she would prefer to curl up with a movie (musicals are preferred) or a good book. Our little girl is growing up so fast, she loves going to church, doing the right thing, and I have to say, is quite a "daddy's girl". We can't wait to see what 8th grade and the future hold!
