Six


This weekend my firstborn turned six. I know it sounds so cliche, but really? Where did the years go? Wasn't she just a wee babe... yesterday? Now she's so poised, gracious, kind, obedient, selfless and as pure as they come. She loves her family above all else. A few people asked what she wanted for her birthday, while like any girl, she likes to play with barbies and use art supplies, but what she values most are people and experiences. Her favorite thing in the world is spending time with Grandparents and cousins. She's infinitely patient with her brothers, she's an example to me and I love her dearly.

Loves: Coloring & art, school, eating chicken tonkatsu at her favorite Japanese place, going out for sushi rolls, going on dates with grandma, family reunions, harmony, dancing to Shakira... (this list could go on!!)


Happy 6th birthday Maya.
We love you more than we could ever express, we thank Heavenly Father for sending you to us every day of our lives.

Happy birthday you sweet girl! I can't believe how time has flown by...It doesn't seem that long ago that we met you for the first time, with your beautiful smile and tiny fingers. Hopefully we can see you soon!!
