happy birthday, malia!!!


this precious girl turns eight today...a very big day (not me, the other precious girl).

malia is a wonderful big sister and an amazing cousin, niece, daughter, granddaughter and second cousin (is that what we are?) — she has many roles.


she is also the best flower girl. she was the flower girl in both our wedding and matt & kim's. and I think she's told me before that she's been a flower girl something like 7 times. which is a lot.


well, she doesn't look very smiley here, but she does look absolutely beautiful.

malia loves to read (and to my understanding reads several books a week), draw, play with jaxon, grace and drew and run around grandmother's front yard playing croquet. oh! and she's daniel's cousin-on-his-dad's-side's daughter (in case you didn't know).

and for a little birthday embarrassment...because everyone needs a little birthday embarrassment:


happy, happy birthday malia! hope it's wonderful and we love you so very much!

and your card is late, malia, because silly me put a whole stack of cards in the mail without stamps. grrrr...frustrating.

That was so sweet of you to remember Malia's birthday, she is a precious eight year old girl. I went out to eat with Grandparents, Chris, Jessica, Jaxon & Malia for her birthday at Golden Corral (this was where she wanted to go) was surprised thats where she wanted to go. We had a great time a lovely Birthday Party.
