Happy Birthday Mariah

It is so great that today Mariah gets to have a birthday. She loves birthdays. I know everyone loves their birthday but Mariah loves all birthdays. When it's anyone's birthday in our family she follows them around grinning at them. I am so excited that today it is hers. She was the first one to rise this morning which is not a normal thing. She climbed into bed with me with a grin from ear to ear. We let her open up one present this morning and was so excited to have a scooter like Jaden and Hayley.

Today she is seven years old. After years of being a "kitty girl" she has moved on to "doggy girl". For a few months she was really into Chihuahuas but now has switched to Golden retrievers. Her best friends are Addie and Chessa. She loves to plan parties. She likes to pretend she is a boy whenever they play. She still likes dolls. She loves to laugh. She hates kisses. She is a black dragon in Tae Kwon Do. She has to pick out her own clothes. She doesn't care if it doesn't match. She likes to play on the computer. She still has those adorable cheeks and she won't let me kiss them. She likes to use tape and lots of it. She is the youngest in her class and also one of the tallest. She loves her brother Gabe and always sits right next to him at dinner. Grandma Judy is her most favorite person in the world. She has two new front teeth and can make herself look like a rabbit. She is adorable and we love her. Happy Birthday Mariah!
