Ari Enters the Double Digits!!

Arianna turned the big 1-0 this year! She actually got to split her birthday between two days since it fell on a Sunday. Saturday evening she went roller skating with her good friend Alyssa. Our intentions were to have more of the family join her, but due to some sickness in the house that weekend it was a quiet celebration (if you consider the Fun Park quiet). Sunday she got to open presents celebrate later in the afternoon with Grandma and Grandpa Farr. She wasn't feeling well for most of the day. It's no fun to be sick on your birthday. But she loved her presents and over all had a great birthday!

I LOVE this picture of Arianna. Her Aunt captured her personality to a T! What an amazing energy Arianna brings to our family. Ari has a full life with school, TaVaci, piano lessons, Achievement Days, and she's recently added Orchestra - she plays the violin. She does everything with such an amazing talent. Her teacher absolutely loves her and sits her by those in the class that are struggling because she is so quick to help. Ari has a flair for drama. She can quote movie lines for almost any situation. The last couple of months she's started talking in an Indian (not Native American) accent. I don't know where she heard it, or how she does it so well, but she's amazing. She insists it's a Scottish accent, but if you want a good laugh have her do it for you. Ari is quite dependable, loves to listen to music, and gets absolutely lost in a good TV show.

Arianna, we love you SO much. Thank you for being who you are and for sharing your vibrant life with us!
