Today she came home from school with a pile of cards from her friends. Some gave her her favorite candy and one friend even gave her a big bag of her favorite Doritos. She said they decorated her locker too! The handwritten messages from her friends were so sweet and thoughtful. Then when I dropped her off at dance today, all the girls ran outside yelling "Happy Birthday" and gave her big hugs. It made me cry! It fills my heart with joy knowing she is loved by so many.
Here are a few of those cards given to her today by her friends at school and dance...
and look what Julia posted on Instagram for her sister...
See how much she is loved? Oh I'm going to cry again...
Gianna requested a confetti cake with my homemade chocolate frosting and peppermint stick ice cream of course...
She actually picked out most of her birthday presents...like these bath bombs from Lush...
(but I surprised her with some Moroccan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner...)
and she also picked out a jacket and leggings from the Ivivva store. This is her classic silly face that makes me laugh every time...
Happy Birthday to my funny, super smart, thoughtful, animal loving little girl. She will always be my baby...even at 12.
I love you Gianna Mae!!!
