Eight Years Old!

Happy Birthday Aria!

It is such a gift to celebrate Aria.  She brings such flare and life to our family.  Her stories have been a welcomed constant since birth. We are amazed at how appropriately we named her, for when she is not talking, she is singing.   I love how silly she can be, her love of snuggles, the intense need to create,  her unique outlook on life.  Aria is such a blessing!
For her birthday, her brothers went all out.  Knowing how much she loves crafting, they explored a few of the books she spends time dreaming in and picked a few for fabulous gifts.  Ben sewed a ribbon bag, covering the front in an array of beautiful colours.  Elias choose to  paint a shirt with stencils of starfish and a sea horse to commemorate our trip to the sea.  We surprised her with a ceiling covered in glow in the dark stars which were a big hit!
