My baby is growing up!

Today is officially Rylee's sixth birthday, although she is somewhat confused since she thinks she turned six three weeks ago. When we sang to her in her bed this morning and announced she is officially six-years-old, she told us she was seven because she was already six! I love her!

I can't believe what a big girl she is. She has grown into one of the neatest people I know. I love hanging out with her. She makes me laugh and makes me smile daily and brings so much added joy and fun to our family. This morning I made chocolate chip pancakes in honor of our birthday girl and while she was eating she gave me an interview. I saw this on my cousin's blog and thought it was a good idea.
