Happy 8th Birthday, Makenna Nicole ♥

 Goooodnesssss.
I do not know where the time goes.
It's like one minute you are breathing in that new baby smell,
and the next minute that baby is . . . an 8 year old!

Miss Makenna Nicole . . .

I can't believe it, but it is true . . .
You are 8 years old today.
And somehow that seems much too much too old.

You have an infectious giggle.
Truly.
I dare anyone to listen to your giggle, and not giggle in return.
It's impossible.

And life, is one big adventure for you!
You're definitely our risk-taker.

You love your beauty rest ;)
Seriously, we should be calling you Sleeping Beauty.
You would be content to sleep until 10am each and every day.
I think it's pretty sweet.
Confession: I can't bring myself to wake you. 
I make Sissy do it.  Every time.
 I have a thing about waking sleeping children

You have a heart for others, and put yourself right in their shoes.

You are a carefree spirit.
No schedule, or timeframes for you.

 You are self-confident, and march to the beat of your own drum.
I'll admit, we don't always share the same taste in clothes or styles
{you are more trendy, and I tend toward classic},
but I love your bold, fun choices!
Your ensembles are always a surprise.

 You loooove to chat.
If you're awake, you're talkin'.
Hmmmm.
Who does that sound like? ;)

You are an absolute joy to this family,
and we love you more than words can say.

Happy Birthday to Makenna! She is beautiful both inside and out. (And I totally relate to sleeping until 10am every morning. What a wonderful thing!)

Oh my gosh, I can't wake sleeping kids either! When they were little I did everything I could not to have to wake them up, I would rearrange my whole day just so they could sleep another 10 minutes. I guess I always felt that if they were asleep they needed it, also I knew they would be grumps if woken up. Plus I really do believe sleep begets sleep, it worked for me, they're all great sleepers now.

Happy Birthday to your big 8 year old!!! Ethan will be 8 in one month, such a fun age.

She is so beautiful! I hope she had a great birthday. Love love all the pictures.

So I am a photographer too- so I know it is not just the camera and that you are amazing but curious what camera do you have and what editing program do you use? I love the clean, bold colors of your pictures-- the style I really like too.
