| I just had to include this adorable pic of my sweet baby. |
On the day of Maryn's actual birthday, I woke up early and Josiah and I made her some yummy cinnamon rolls, which we stuck a 4 candle into and sang her "Happy Birthday" when she awoke. She ate two whole cinnamon rolls!
Then after Daddy woke up, we got ready for our day and headed to the seminary clinic for SHOTS. Ah! I hate shots! But they all did just fine (Josiah didn't cry one bit!), and haven't had any side effects so far. Then we had lunch at the seminary, including ice cream sundaes for dessert. I love college cafeterias. :)
That night, we made Maryn's recent favorite dinner, Chili Mac, and ate leftover birthday cake and rainbow sherbet. Then she opened presents from Mommy and Daddy.

| Maryn loves to build! We got her her first set of real Legos. |

| And a princess Barbie with matching unicorn! |
On Sunday afternoon, we had our community's quad cookout but made it Maryn's birthday party as well :). Meaning, the carry-in item we brought was a huge birthday cake!

Showing off her ballet moves, her new ballet skirt, new shirt and new headband. Spoiled!

I'm so proud of our sweet girl and the young lady she is becoming. She has a strong will and a strong mind to match. John and I are making more of an effort to answer her questions. We know this is not a behavior she will always possess--someday she will find her answers other places. We are trying to see these questions as windows into her heart and opportunities to strengthen her mind and thought processes. We love how she makes us think, and appreciate all she teaches us every day. Being her parents is anything but easy, but it sure is a gift.
