Happy birthday, Talullah Arianna!!!

Wow.  Pinterest made it look so much cuter.

Cousin Gillian.  And her care bear.

Summer made an aquarium snow globe!

Mae and her balloon.

Ariel joining the party was a surprise.  We didn't tell Talullah!

Caitlyn did amazing face painting!  And I'm multi-tasking like a pro.

All the princesses.  Other than Adon and Orion, all the boys refused to go in for this photo op.

What do you think she's wishing for...?

She's six!!!

And, the whole family

Well, my oldest daughter just turned six.  A few weeks ago, she was crying in the middle of the night and I reached down to pick her up and I could not lift her body more than a couple inches off the ground.  It was more than just lack of sleep that nearly made me burst into tears.  When did this happen?  She's too heavy for me to carry.  Talullah is such a sweet, beautiful little girl with a soft heart.  She caters to her baby sister Amberlie on a daily basis.  She is quick to comfort the other sisters if I am upset with them.  She loves to read and do arts and crafts.  She is such a joy to be around.  While it's sad to see that baby face mature into a little girl, I truly look forward to watching grow up.
