Mia is 8 years old now...wow! I can't believe it! Her birthday fell on the last day of school before Thanksgiving break which worked out well. Ryan and I took Moe's up to have lunch with her which was fun. After school, we picked up Mia, Lily and two of Mia's great friends, Sarah and Sophie. Mia was super pumped to have a rock climbing party! We changed clothes and immediately headed over to Stone Summit which is where Mia loves to climb. Her two friends are pretty fearless as well, so they couldn't wait to get through the safety lesson and start climbing! They had a blast!
A little bit into the session, Lily decided it looked too fun to resist, so she got in on the action. I was so glad she took part in something Mia loves because Mia adores her big sister and wants to have fun with her!
These girls climbed HARD for a little over two hours. They went nonstop. They had calloused hands, a few ankle blisters, and some scratches and scrapes to show their hard work. I was so proud of each of them. They did an amazing job!
After climbing, we went over to Steak and Shake for dinner. Mia wanted to go to Wing Factory, but it would have taken too long to get there, and they were all starving by this point. She kept a great attitude and we moved on to Steak and Shake.
After dinner, we headed on home for presents, ice cream dessert and Finding Dory in the comfy chairs. All the girls had a lot of fun together. Mr. Mausz came to pick up Sophie about 10, but Sarah was able to spend the night which thrilled Mia. Lily made them a fort under our dining room table. There was just enough room for two sleeping bags and a bazillion stuffed animals. By 11, these two were sound asleep. They managed to sleep until about 7:30 on Saturday morning, and then they enjoyed donuts that Ryan went to pick up. Mrs. Crowley came about 10 to pick up Sarah. This was a great way for Mia to spend her birthday...lots of adventure with some great friends!
We'll go for her check up in a few days, but I wanted to go ahead and post about her birthday. I also wanted to go ahead and catch her "favorite things" list., so here we go...

Mia is absolutely amazing. She is truly an awesome person to be around. She is the most generous and fiercely loyal person I know. She has a great, determined attitude, but can also roll with changes when she needs to. She is kind and loving to others. She's hilarious. She loves to play board games and card games. She's stunningly beautiful, inside and out. Joy overflows out of her. She loves to travel and be adventurous. Her love of reading has really taken off over this last year. She is so smart, and you can see it in the observations she makes. She thinks outside the box, and I am confident there are big things in store for her. I cannot wait to see how God's plan plays out in her life. I am so proud to call Mia my daughter.
