From little girls toys, to CD's and big girls things. To pretty stationary and diaries to lock your secrets away.
Jess was 9 last week. Nine. Where did that go ? Where did that gorgeous smily baby go ? Who gave me a big beautiful smiling fiesty girl in return.
So Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana, Camp Rock, and High School Musical stuff is now even more in evidence in our house. She's such a bookworm though. Every book she was given was cherished. My mum and dad gave her a couple of books as part of her present and she disappeared off to read them while they were still here :)
We were on holidays , up the coast at Burleigh Heads for her birthday. She chose to go into Surfers Paradise and to Timezone for her special day. We all swam in the pool at our apartments and had a really relaxing day. It was a great celebration of our biggest girl.
Beautiful big girl, we love you so. You are so patient and long suffering when it comes to your little sister. So often you just get on with it, in the midst of the chaos. Your smile truly brightens rooms and even now 9 years on strangers comment on how gorgeous that smile is. You are funny, clever, beautiful and full of a happiness that many people could learn from. We are so lucky to have you as our daughter. xxxx
