Hattie hits double digits!

 Feliz Cumpleaños mi cariño!

Oh how this girl has my heart!!! I checked into the hospital on June 20th, ten years ago, and she took her time. Born on the 21st…summer solstice, the longest day of light EACH year. Just a preview of the light she would be to everyone who knows her. She has the biggest heart, she doesn’t know a stranger and will do whatever she can to make sure those around her are happy and feeling loved. 

It was a great day for her in Spain. She celebrated with friends at school for the first time ever. Entrenaranjos even let me order a chocolate cake for her to enjoy with her classmates. I picked her up a little early and she FaceTimed with Bella and they opened gifts together. She performed in her first cello recital. I was so proud of her. She gets so nervous but she did so great. She even got a small gift from her instructor Ms. Maite. She enjoyed her favorite chicken and mashed potatoes for dinner. She always wants mashed potatoes, so KFC for the win. She chatted with grandmas on her iPad and even got to text with lots of other family and friends. She opened gifts from lots of family and friends. She got a whole envelope full from her 4th grade class back home, Mrs Marquardt sent her a cool new pop-it. Aunt Lori pulled through with some new wings of fire books she’s been wanting. We surprised her with a custom olive wood chess set, and probably one of the most special surprises was the dragon painting Leah did for her. Hattie’s eye lit up and you could tell how much it meant to her. They really do love each other!
