Hey Birthday Girl,
I can't believe you are now eleven. It's going to feel so weird in a few short months when you are no longer in primary and will join the young women's, but at the same time I am so excited for you. Some of my best core memories come from the young women's program. You'll also be able to enter the temple now which feels wild to me. I wish there was one even closer to where we live so that you can fully appreciate the beauty that is the temple. This is a really big year for you as you also are in your last year of elementary school. As much as I want you to stay young it is exciting to see you achieve each new milestone. This year for your birthday you wanted to be surrounded by friends and of course you already have so many even though we've only lived here for a year so far. You're amazing at finding and making true connections with others. I admire that a lot about you. You're also a pretty good sport, because your dad and I thought it would be funny for him to dress up as Blippi and be silly in front of all of your friends and you handled it like a true champ. Thank you for playing around with us even when surrounded by your friends.
You're truly growing up and as you continue to keep reaching new milestones and having new experiences I hope you never forget how loved you are by your family. We wouldn't be the family we are if you weren't part of it. You're important, incredible, and so intelligent. I love you Addie Rae, and I always will.
Love,
Mom
