March 19th

11 years Kennedy entered this world on a snowy Alabama morning. 11 years later, she also woke up on a snowy March 19th. Who knows, maybe this will always be the case. It definitely reminded me of the wonderful day that I became a mom! She woke up to french toast--one of her favorites.

This is true love--I think french toast--making it, eating it, looking at it--is disgusting.

She got to stand of top of her chair and get crowned and sung to at school before passing out her birthday treat.

She got Cafe Rio at lunch for school. She was pretty bummed that 1) The state of Utah actually held school this day, and 2) that I made her go to school this day. I think Cafe Rio solved the bummer! I did let her skip piano. She enjoys piano, but I think just being able to skip something was important to her!

Her cake for the day. Although it did not have a special theme, it was delicious.

I have been a wimpy earring mom, but I finally caved (a little) and got her earrings that are bigger and more dangly. She was super excited--especially about the zebra ones. (here's to hoping Benson doesn't yank them out!)

Spencer replaced a special gift (that we think Benson may have hid!) and Kennedy literally attacked him with hugs. It was very cute that he got to be a hero.

This is Kennedy literally on top of Spencer!

One of her gifts was her own hair dryer, straightener, and brush. I was a little sad at how excited about it she was. I think that is a sign she is officially growing up!
And the final birthday candle blowout. We can't wait to enjoy this 11th year with this amazing not so little girl!
Happy birthday K-Bear!!
