Ivy turned 11 in May! She is the sweetest thing. The FSA testing was the first 2 weeks of May and one of the testing days happened to fall on her birthday. Of course she could not miss testing but what a drag to have testing on your birthday! So what we did to make the day special was bring McDonald's lunch into her class as a "finished with testing treat!" (since they don't allow such productions for birthdays). When she came home she said it was the best day ever because all her classmates were so happy about the McDonalds lunch!! She had football practice that night which she also would never ever miss and a visit from Sophie that evening along with brownie bites for dessert. We celebrated with a little party over the weekend, her friends and cousins came over to swim and hang for the evening, and I think she'd tell you it was the best birthday ever!! We are so lucky to have this gem in our family. She's the best. And as we took turns that evening telling her all the things we love about her, we all ended up in tears when Benny burst into tears himself and exclaimed, "I just love her!!!"
