Miss Mal...

Monday, Miss Mal turned the big 1-2!!! As a dear, close and cherished friend said on facebook, "Happy Birthday to Mallary! Hard to believe it's been 12 years!!" Isn't that the truth!?!


Without letting Mal know, Kyle put in for a vacation day for Monday and took the day off work so that he could spend it with us girls here at home, celebrating! :) She was so happy and surprised!

He fixed her favorite breakfast...homemade waffles and sausage!


Complete with a candle and a song! :)


We told Mal that the day was COMPLETELY hers to do with what she wanted.

She chose to stay home...

She kind of wanted to go somewhere and do something but then that would require that we all "get around" and she didn't want us to have to be separated while we "got around" so we stayed in our jammies all day and did the things that Mal loves to do most! :)

We played games...



We ate some of her favorite foods...


We opened gifts...


We played on the Wii...


We watched movies...


We spent time in God's Word...


We spent time outside...


We laughed...


We lived...


We loved...


We celebrated this life that we love more than words can express... ♥♥♥

It was a picture perfect way to celebrate a picture perfect day!

Mallary is a precious jewel in our lives and we give God continual thanks
and praise for the rich and wonderful blessing that she is!

Happy 12th Birthday Beautiful One!
