eight

Sydney turned 8 a few weeks back.  She spent her birthday at home.... a snow day from school.  While the news delighted her in the morning, the reality of not being at school to hand out her birthday treats became a bit more disappointing as the day wore on. 

At 8, Sydney's favorite past times include crafting, sewing, organizing, and mothering her 3 younger siblings.  She is a confident little gal, very tenderhearted, and always strives to please.  She can hot glue blindfolded, sew a sweet doll dress,  and delights us daily with the thoughtful little creations she  makes for all of us.  She has a creative mind, and doesn't see the purpose for math in her life.  For fun, I give her little sewing projects with specific dimensions, and she is appalled to know that she is using math :)

  For fun, I thought I'd interview Sydney as well.....

Proudly standing by her artwork that was chosen to hang on display at a local college.  She was quite proud.

 

 We had a combined birthday party for all of the Jan. and Feb. birthdays on Tim's side of the family.  Naturally the gals wanted a Cinderella cake.

 

Dylan wanted  "the claw" from Toy Story.

Happy Birthday Sydney!  We love you!
