Mikayla's Birthday

Mikayla is now 11 years old...no really she is ELEVEN! Wow! She is such an awesome girl, I am so grateful she is my oldest because she is so responsible and helps me out SO much. She loves to play piano and recently got a piano piece for festival and memorized it and was playing it perfectly in like a week! It is so fun and relaxing to listen to her play and see all her hard work paying off. She is the best big sister and all of the younger ones look up to her and adore her. We are so thankful that she is a part of our family & love her cute personality! Happy Birthday Mikayla! We love you!

Ready to open presents from Mom & Dad


Markers & twistables...she loves to draw & color


Cute new shirt


A weaving loom...
I remember making hot pads with one of these when I was her age!

She was pretty excited to get started making stuff with it:)


THE FRIEND PARTY:
She requested a glow-in-the-dark party

We had black lights, lots of goodies, glow necklaces,
we decorated their faces with glow-in-the-dark face paint,
& they played night games.

The hanging streamers looked cool in just the black lights


The presents

I decorated the mirror in our entry with
glow-in-the-dark paint that said "Happy Birthday"

Whitney & her best friend Kelsey

She got an "M" pillow- she LOVED it!
