Birthday Time!

March is a month full of birthdays for our families. My mom was born on March 13th and yes it was a Friday. So we consider all Friday the 13ths to be lucky, there is no paraskavedekatriaphobia (the fear of friday the 13th) in this family! Then Travis' grandma Martha was born on the 16th. Then of course our personal angel Malia was born on St. Patrick's day the 17th. 

What I'm having a hard time with is the fact that not only is she turning 6 but she's reading and being independent and getting more gorgeous way too fast!

So, she's an only child so there's no reason not to do a birthday party every year. This year, she got to pick 5 friends and we're taking them to "Jump On It" a place in Lindon that has "10,000 sq feet of trampolines!" we've never been there, but it's only $4 for a kid ages 3 to 8. So, we figured why not! Malia is so excited, it's adorable. She really put a lot of thought into who she'd invite and then agonized over which of the girls from school to hand that last invitation to. I think she put it off too long and now none of them will be able to come, but the privileged four she had picked out in the beginning have all given their RSVP. So, one way or the other she will be surrounded by friends and family and will soak in all the adoration she so fully deserves!

Then of course we'll do a nice dinner and a few more presents on the actual day!
