Here it is a month late, a picture from Alexis' birthday party. At nine years old, she seems so grown-up. She is such a great helper with her younger siblings. Clara will reach for her over me every time, and Alexis and I always enjoy a laugh over it. I love interacting with Alexis and listening to her chatter about everything going on in her life. She has always loved to talk and that hasn't changed as she has gotten older, but the things she talks about have changed from child chatter to more adult conversation. Alexis is always up for playing a game with me and one of our favorites right now is Racko. I'm sure thankful for this sweet, thoughtful, caring granddaughter.
Unfortunately the video that I usually take of blowing out the candles didn't come out very well, so all I have to mark the occasion is this picture. The cake was yummy!
