My "baby" is 8, today!

I'm not really sure how it happened, but my baby girl is 8 today!

I can't imagine our lives without her.  She's feisty, head strong, believes she can do anything,

is tender toward those that need it, always has a hug and kiss for her parents, and loves her siblings fiercely, and it's all rolled up into a cute little package.  

Happy 8th Birthday, Ava!  I love you oodles!

Ava helped bake the cake, make icing from scratch, and then she deorated the cake too.
It was a delicious work of art :)
