My dearest Maya,
what can I say, life for the past few months has been .. eventful.. but we have taken care to continue enjoying every moment of you! This year we chose to celebrate your birthday a few weeks early, because we really wanted it to be all about you. Thanks to Uncle Hayden and Uncle Mario for taking these pictures to help us preserve the memories.

One of my favorite pics of you:
Huffing and puffing with all your might

Having lots of fun with your friends:

The real reason to have a birthday party..it's all about the icing
And why you might wonder, did we have your birthday party a month early this year?? Wellll, you are about to have a very special gift. There might be some delayed gratification involved, but we hope you'll enjoy it (them) in a few years. We took this picture in a mirror afterwards to remember that we survived your party of 70 people and ended it smiling.
And while I'm blogging, here are just a few other special moments with you from the last few months:
Home school ballet:
A trip to Moody Gardens during the summer:
A science class on bubbles!
Aunt Jenni's special hat
