Today is Mallory's 11th Birthday!!

Mallory had a wonderful day today! She started the day by opening a present from Mason. He made her a duct tape bag! It has a nice velco latch on it!

Tim gave her 11 red roses to carry on the tradition. He has given her one rose for every year on her birthday since she was 1 year old. We have saved the petals and plan to use them somehow at her wedding.




After church we went to Olive Garden with the Onsteads - great fun!

This was the best part of the day. Mallory has been saving her money for an iTouch. She has not gotten very far in her saving because she keeps donating her money to very worthy causes. Tim and I were so very excited to surprise her with one for her birthday. She had NO IDEA it was coming. In this picture she is wondering if her eyes are deceiving her!


She realized that it really was an iTouch.

Our sweet precious was so very thankful. We have never had more fun giving a present than we did giving this to Mallory. (You could see tears from both parents!) She is such an incredible blessing to us and we thank God for giving her to us!!
