This girl... Paisley is a real sweetie. She was really looking forward to her birthday and spending a little time with her closest friend, Esme.
We all got up early to wish her the best year and watch her open her gifts. After school we all went out to a new Sushi place she and I discovered the month before and really liked. We were missing Adren because he had to work, but it was fun to have Esme join us.
Afterwards we went back to our house for Paisley's favorite fruit cheesecake. Mmmmmmmm.....
Paisley and Esme are as close as close can be. It's been fun watching them grow over the years. I'm grateful Paisley has a close girlfriend. They are so cute together- but
so loud and crazy! Geesh!
I think of Paisley surrounded by brothers. She shares a room and bathroom with them, it's all she knows. She sure brings a softness and order to those areas, and it makes me so grateful these awesome boys are influenced by this awesome girl.
I realize I turn to Paisley more and more as she gets older. For example, if I need to run a few errands to some places I know she'd enjoy, I wait until she gets home to see if she'd like to join me. If I see a show I think she may like to watch, I'll wait to watch it with her. She's always open to chat over things, or just tell me about things going on with her friends. We spend a lot of time chatting. We love spending a good amount of time strolling through Ulta, or Hobby Lobby, showing each other our finds. She's just really fun to hang out with. I am so grateful for that! She is a loyal friend, she feels things deeply, she is creative and will often need to create something- anything! I know how that is. She's good at problem solving, she see's the silly side of so many things and I love her laugh. Paisley is a delight all along the way. We love that she shines her light and makes things beautiful around her. We love you Paisley!
