ARIE is 10!!!!!

We are celebrating another birthday! Arie's birthday always causes me to reflect on her life and the many blessings and miracles that we have seen happen in her short life! We have been extremely blessed. Arie is always excited about everything that she is doing, she is our family's best cheerleader. She will tell you at the end of the day exactly what everyone has said or done at school. She has been skiing a few times and now is a pro! She got to go skiing for her birthday and had a great time. We went on all the lifts! I love her "no fear" attitude! When we first put on her skis, waiting for the instructor she tells me "I am going to ski down that hill" and off she went (with me chasing her)! I love to spend time with Arie, she loves to shop and spend my money, but that is ok! I wish that I had skiing pics to show, but I forgot my camera....next time I will remember! Happy Birthday Arie!
