8 is great!

Today, Thanksgiving Day, is my first daughter's birthday. Sweet Annie Kate. I get so teary just even writing this first sentence. I love her so much! I went through the photos I have of her and just had to put on some of my favorite. It shows how this girl can do so many things. Not that she is great at everything she tries, but she definitely tries.

She is ultra smiley and one of the things her teacher told me was that there has not been a day this year that she has not walked in the door with a smile on her face. She has way more style than I do. She can change a bobbin on a sewing machine, use a laminator, cut with a die cut machine, do 4 pull ups on Jeff's bar, wears a size 2 shoe, put her hair in two pony tails, cast with her fishing pole, loves to be tested in math, climb the tree in front of our house, heely with ease, likes to eat peanut butter and honey, can climb a wall like spiderman, does not drink soda; water is her favorite drink, loves her sisters and today is 8 years old.

Happy Birthday my sweet freckle face!
