Eleven

Dear Cassidy--

Eleven looks very good on you. I know it is going to be your best year yet. You are so smart and talented. You are so awesome and amazing. You are so kind and beautiful. I'm just so thankful you're you!

Happy birthday, darling daughter of mine. I love you!

Love, Mom

(P.S. In case you're wondering, here's how we celebrated 11 candles on Cassidy's cake:)

There was a piano lesson AND an indoor soccer game....

There was a sleep over (not pictured) AND shopping (also not pictured)...

There were cupcakes AND a birthday cake AND dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe.....

There was a new iPod from Mom and Dad.....

There were presents from Grandma and Grandpa.....

and there was ice skating with friends and brothers.

(Note: The aforementioned events did NOT take place in one single day, but rather were spaced out over what we like to call Birthday Extravaganza Week)

Happy Birthday Cassidy Lyn!

And just because I want to include these...

 (So proud of our 3 year old who tried ice skating for the first time!)

(And really, you didn't want to miss this one, did you?)
