Today Mary turned 10! Even though she has been sick, she insisted on waking up at 6:00 and making breakfast (largely by herself) for the entire family before it was time to go to school. I had so much fun eating breakfast with everyone. Thank you Mary and Lily! Over breakfast we took a video of everyone saying what they love about Mary.
While the oldest kids were at school, I slipped away from my office and took Clarissa to the bike shop to pick out a bike for Mary and also a bike for Ammon (his birthday is next week). We ate at Chick-Fillet while they were putting anti-pop slime in the tires.
Back at home, I put a bow Lily got on the bike and put it on the counter so she would be surprised after school.
Then I took a video with Clarissa to talk about our daddy-daughter date and then we took another video to capture Mary coming home to the surprise bike.
I then went back to work until it was time to go to the play! To celebrate Mary’s birthday, Lily got tickets to “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” at the Sandy Hale Theater and coordinated with my dad and Suzanne to join us. It was so much fun and the story of Molly Brown is INCREDIBLE.
We love you so so so much Mary! You are cute! You love people and animals and show that with your actions! You work hard at the piano, read, help around the house, help with Ammon and Clarissa and all around make life better. You are responsible, smart, hard-working and peaceful. We love love love you. Keep up your beautiful artwork!!
