Happy Birthday, Meghan!

So, I'm a bit late. We were busy with Christmas stuff.

I've been posting old vids of Meggie and thought for her birthday we should have a current photo, but it took me awhile to have time to sit down and do it.

We love this kid. She's our household sunshine. A bit of a drama queen at times, but mostly pretty cheerful with a silly little sense of humor. She's still young enough to skip down the hall, but old enough to be a great helper. She likes to cook, play the piano (which she does pretty well), concoct surprises for her family, listen to "old fart music" with her mom (she's a big Frank Sinatra fan), dance and run. She wants to know everything about everything and reads science and math books for fun. She also loves fantasy books, though. She's very creative and artistic and it's all we can do to keep her in arts/crafts stuff. She adores her big brother and her grandmas and they spoil her right back.

Most important to us, though, is that she really wants to be a good kid. She tries hard to be nice to everyone, reminds her mother to "not say that" when the s-word slips out, and reminds us about family prayer when we forget. She's usually especially kind to kids that are littler than her, and has quite the little gaggle of 3 foot groupies at church.

Happy Birthday, Meghan, to the best Christmas present we ever got! (It would have been a better Christmas present if you weren't two weeks late, however!)
