Erika Happy 6th Birthday!!!!!

What can I say about Erika!!! I Love her so much! Erika is our shy, little sweetheart. Some of my most favorite memories of Erika are:

1. When she was a baby and had teeth, she liked to bite me. She would lean in to hug me and wham! She wouldn't hug me, she would take a bite out of me. I couldn't let this continue, so one day when she bite me, I bite her back. I must have taught her a lesson because no more biting after that.

2. Her first soccer game (the first year she played) she was excited but definitely nervous. She got frustrated and didn't know what to expect and spent most of that first game, crying!! She was a trooper and didn't give up and now she loves to play!

3. Erika does not like whipped cream for some reason or another when she was offered whipped cream she would say "no" that "no" soon turned into "I can't have whipped cream, I'm allergic!" After hearing this a few times I had to point out the difference between not liking something and being allergic to something.

It's great to look back at how much she has grown and changed! She is such a great daughter and we wish her the best on her 6th birthday!
