She is my sunshine on a cloudy day.

She is always good for a giggle….and be forewarned, hers is highly contagious.

She is a sweet, love of a girl….no shortage of hugs and snuggles from her.

And tomorrow she will be eight.

My baby.

So we went out on a little excursion to capture some of her eight-ness.

She gives Jim Carrey a run for his money in the facemaking department.

Swinging.
The quintessential 8 year old girl thing to do….and as much as I love that one, it is the next one that I think catches a little of the pure bliss of swinging.

Happy birthday to my sweet girl. I am so thankful for you every single day!
Check back next week (probably every day) for a full re-cap of her Harry Potter party madness!



Gorgeous pics! I love the swing shots especially. Happy Birthday niecelet! I can’t wait to come to your party!!
The sun indeed rises in the East. Thank you.
