Oh Kenna girl - 11? Really?! This. Is. Crazy!!
Happy birthday sweet girl! You are such a treasure and I absolutely love having a front row seat to watching you grow up. You are SUCH an amazing kiddo and bring so much joy and energy into each day. No one loves a celebration more than you - you look SO forward to this day each year and are always so sad when it has to end. You've grown up a TON in this past year. You'll be in 6th grade in the fall and I'm SO thankful we have an Intermediate school for you to go to one more year before you make that big jump into middle school. I hope and pray that you continue to move mountains wherever you go - your energy and your zest for life are unmatched. I can't wait to see how God uses you in this next year.
You LOVE a good game and this one has been on your list for some time;)
I'm SO glad I convinced you to do GOTR with me this year! That 5k was something I didn't know I could still do and I loved every minute of pushing myself with you!
Impromptu birthday celebration with the neighbors
Those poppies!! Must be a sign of a GOOD year to come!
This. I love your sweet side. Every night before bed you still go in his room and tell him good night and give him a hug. Never stop that, ok?
Birthday morning traditions
Did I mention you love celebrations? Cake #3
And cake #4!! This one was at Auntie Amy's house after our concert. They surprised you with balloons and a cake and then absolutely LOVED on you for the next few hours. You were in HEAVEN with all that attention and made us all laugh with your goofy antics.
Our first concert did not disappoint!
A little more purple in that hair - you really did ROCK that look this summer!

Purple hair.... and a cast. Yep, that's my kenna girl!
