The Birthday Girl

Mary Kathleen turned 11 years old today!

Here's a walk down memory lane. (digital camera era only)

2007
2008
2009
Virginia - 2010
2011
Here are some pictures from her day today.
Morning doughnuts

Requested: cheesecake by Mary Kate/ regular cake by other kids
Matt not liking the delay in dessert

And the gift is.....
Sister love.

There are not enough kind words to describe Mary Kate.  She's got a big heart and everyone in the house loves to be with her.  (In other words, she fights the least with everyone.)

I'm amazed at her growing talents in piano, violin, and running. 

She's graceful.  She's sweet. 

She eats my dinners whether she likes them or not.

She's very cranky when she doesn't get enough sleep, but is always the one begging to stay up late.

She loves to go shopping.  

She likes to steal my shoes. (yes, she fits in some of them)

***Mary Kate, you are so wonderful and loved very much.  Happy Birthday my sweet girl!***
