Lauren Elizabeth turns 9!!!!

Our sweet Lauren officially turned 9 (almost double digits!!) over the weekend. Mama was able to take cupcakes in to school for her and her friends (always fun!) and then she had 5 of her bestest friends over Friday night for her first "real" slumber party!!! They had pizza, watched a movie, made bracelets, ate lots of candy and giggled til 2am!!! Oh my! So sweet to see her having so much fun with her friends! Lauren, you are growing up too fast girlie : ) we love how fun you are to be with. You have such a cute and contagious smile, including that dimple! You love to sing, make music, and laugh. But you also have a sincere heart and can be serious and concerned at just the right times : ) You have a way of saying exactly whats on your mind, which usually makes us smile. And you are excited to learn new things this year in 3rd grade both at school & church and because you are getting older, you love what lies ahead for you! I love that about you! You are such an incredible blessing to have in our family! Happy 9th birthday Lauren Elizabeth, with bunches of love!
